                                                Fallen Rain 

 

                                     Wrapped in a sarong.

                                     Joan Crawford's movie blares on.

                                     Talk to the preacher.

                                     Old movie, new decisions.

                                      Flower burns my ear.

Pondering this one.
Thanks so much for the recent comment on job searching and what to consider.

Oh, sorry, Jane and everyone else. The poem refers to an old Joan Crawford movie titled "Rain". It comes on the old movie networks once in awhile. I think Frederick Marsh and Robert Mitchum but don't quote me on the men right now-having a senior moment!
