It’s such a rainy day today,
So cold and damp and drear.
I curl up where it’s warm and dry,
But oh the birds I hear!
Chirping, cooing, twittering,
Laughing, singing free!
The sound of happiness in song
Is worth the rain to me.

No surprise to anyone, this is my “sound” Quadrille for Victoria’s lovely prompt at
dVerse.
Mystical Strings 
This is the sound I love the best too… love birdsong.
A wonderful quadrille Crystal, I especially love ‘Laughing, singing free! The sound of happiness in song Is worth the rain to me’ :o)
Nicely written with meter and rhyme that works so well to create such a happy effect. Thank you, Crystal.
Such a joyous cadence and rhyming. (Sigh) I love it.
This is very sweet:
“The sound of happiness in song
Is worth the rain to me.”
A song of your own happiness sounded throughout this read.
I love verse and this was very beautiful and hopeful.
I like the rhythm and rhyme scheme in this piece. Lovely description of a rainy Spring day.
Such lovely sounds…I specially admire the ending ~
It’s nice on rainy, cool mornings. The birds pitch in and make it the beginning of a great day. You’re right, it does make me thankful for rain.
