Rain all day

from drizzle to downpour

And nobody

Complaining.

Similar weather today, but in 2012 I believe it came after a long dry spell

        It blows a gale

The rain is lashing down

    On the hotel steps.

          Wet through

      A smoker shields

         His cigarette

          And sighs.

It rained after a day of fiercer heat

Than most of us in Hastings can recall-

It seems that summer time is in retreat:

It rained.

Heaving gutters gush with the downfall

Swamping paths and consuming the feet

Of tourists caught in sandals who must trawl

Their sodden baggage, hoping they might meet

A kindly taxi driver still on call

Who will take pity on their sodden state.

It rained.

I might as well write

This now, while the rain still falls,

Rather than get wet.
