Today I am presenting the ‘penultimate‘ poem that will be appearing in my new book “Until Eyes Hear Sound”. and “Dancing In The Rain (an Epigram)” is a poem I wrote in September 2022, and it will be the last piece in the ‘Others’ section of Chapter 10. Short Poems: Haiku, Senryu, Tanka, and Others …
Please Note: the photo attached below, is the proposed cover design for my new book “Until Eyes Hear Sound”, created by my niece Kerri Costello – Philadelphia.

Dancing In The Rain (an Epigram)
In one way or another
After leaving our mothers
Life delivers us to love and pain
While dancing in the rain

Oh, my gosh! As always, Kerri’s artistic work is spot on! That would be an outstanding book cover for your new book! 🙂 She is so talented! 🙂
Ivor, your drawing, poem, and Lisa’s song are a sweet trio. Your poem is fantastic and reminds me that amidst the daily “life-rain” and pain…to keep dancin’ through them both!!! 😀 ❤️
Hope you and Sir Frankie are having a good day!!
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️

I went over to Philadelphia 4 years ago … and she was the one to encourage me to write my ‘Books’ … “you do the books and I’ll do the Illustrations for you” … yep, we agreed then and there, with a handshake and a hug …
