MEASURING THE RAIN YEAR


A day of steady rain, a mere drop 
in the proverbial drought bucket. 
A soft Irish day, my grandmother would say.
We’ve been in drought mode since 2006
Or 1970, with a few good deluge years tossed in.
Our Rain Year begins in Oct, & like taxes, 
the snowbank payment is reckoned in April. 
Ready or not, Spring begins tomorrow.
