Oh!
What a day
What an extraordinary day
I am standing here in the rain
Tears streaming down my face
Drip drip dripping
Dropping from my chin
Soaking my beating breast
Pouring out my heart
To anyone
Who will sing and dance with me
I too was struck with the emotional combination and intensisty of the rain and tears.
Mmmm... So much said between the lines.

Or maybe you are taking a long hard look at us poets - pouring our emotions out to each other - things we'd never dream of telling casual acquaintances...
Buoyant and engaging. Who wouldn't leap forward to take your arm? And then, I think - he's getting us right in the neck with a killingly witty travesty of 'Strictly'? It would be very hard to separate 'tears' from 'raindrops', so we have to assume your 'emotional honesty'.

Thank you Ladies, one and all.
Yes, you are on the rightish track, things are never what they first appear or purport to be.
the exception being 'Strictly'... I've never watched it but admit to once treading in some.
The poem eludes to tears and lonliness.... frustration and helpless despair.... all to that tedious DOO Dee DOO Doo Dacing in the Rain Tune sung by the smiling and beguiling Gene Kelly.... must have been something that I had eaten earlier.
Thank you as ever for your gracious comments and love you all to bits.
