Rain Quotes

Anyone who thinks only sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.
The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain. (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
Do not, on a rainy day, ask your child what he feels like doing, because I assure you that what he feels like doing, you won't feel like watching. (Fran Lebowitz)
I am sure it is a great mistake always to know enough to go in when it rains. One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness. (Adeline Knapp)
In the spring rain, the pond and the river become one.
Into every life some rain must fall. Usually when your car windows are down.
It raineth on the Just and the Unjust Alike,
But the Unjust stealeth the Just's umbrella
Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. (Langston Hughes)
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger. (Saint Basil)
Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life. (John Updike)
Rain! whose soft architectural hands have power to cut stones, and chisel to shapes of grandeur the very mountains. (Henry Ward Beecher)
Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet. (Roger Miller)
There's always a period of curious fear between the first sweet-smelling breeze and the time when the rain comes cracking down. (Don DeLillo)
Thy fate is the common fate of all;
Into each life some rain must fall. (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
Washing your car to make it rain doesn't work.
We do not sing "Rain, Rain Go Away".
We put on our slickers and go out and play!

The Rain

(author unknown)

Pitter-patter raindrops,
Falling from the sky.
Here is my umbrella
To keep me safe and dry.
When the rain is over
And the sun begins to glow,
Little flowers start to bud
And grow and grow and grow.

The Reason

(Dorothy Aldis)

Rabbits and squirrels
Are furry and fat,
And all of the chickens
Have feathers, and that
Is why when it's raining
They need not stay in
The way children do who have
Only their skin.

April Fool

(Eleanor Hammond)

Small April sobbed,
"I'm going to cry.
Please give me a cloud
To wipe my eye!"

Then, "April Fool."
She laughed instead;
And smiled a rainbow
Overhead!

I Like It When It's Mizzly

(Aileen Fisher)

I like it when it's mizzly
and just a little drizzly
so everything looks far away
and make-believe and frizzly.

I like it when it's foggy
and sounding very froggy.
I even like it when it rains
on streets and weepy windowpanes
and catkins in the poplar tree
and me.

Spring Rain

(Marchette Chute)

The storm came up so very quick
It couldn't have been quicker.
I should have brought my hat along;
I should have brought my slicker.

My hair is wet, my feet are wet,
I couldn't be much wetter.
I fell into a river once
But this is even better.

Umbrellas

Quotes

And me without my umbrella.
A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain. (Mark Twain)
Going around under an umbrella interferes with one's looking up at the sky. (Jerzy Kosinski)
It raineth on the Just and the Unjust Alike,
But the Unjust stealeth the Just's umbrella
Let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day.
Let a smile be your umbrella, and you'll end up with a face full of rain. (George Carlin)
Who am I that I have to sing under an umbrella? These people are my fans, and if they can stand in the rain to hear me sing, I can stand in the rain. (Bobby Darin)
What can go up the chimney down but not down the chimney up? An umbrella, of course!

Umbrellas In Many Colors

(author unknown)

Umbrellas help in many ways.
This black one is for rainy days.
In summer, when there's too much sun,
I carry this bright yellow one.
This umbrella pink and neat
Fits at the table where I eat.
This red one when I put it up
Looks like an upside-down big cup.

Umbrella Song

(author unknown)

Put up your umbrella when the rain comes down.
Wear a happy smile and wipe away a frown.
Splash in all the puddles and do a little dance.
Rain is just the thing we need for watering the plants.

Umbrellas Go Up

(author unknown)

Umbrellas go up
When the rain falls down,
When the rain falls down on me.
Umbrellas go up
When the weather's wet
To keep the rain off me!

Umbrellas go up
When the sun shines down
On a hot day by the sea.
Umbrellas go up
When the weather's hot
to keep the sun off me!

Floods and Droughts

Quotes

Any party which takes credit for the rain must not be surprised if its opponents blame it for the drought. (Dwight Morrow)
The biblical account of Noah's Ark and the Flood is perhaps the most implausible story for fundamentalists to defend. Where, for example, while loading his ark, did Noah find penguins and polar bears in Palestine? (Judith Hayes)
Don't pray for the rain to stop; pray for good luck fishing when the river floods. (Wendell Berry)
A freshet in the autumn does not compensate for a drought in the spring. (Mary Boykin Chesnut)
It's so dry the trees are bribing the dogs. (Charles Martin)
The only thing that stops God from sending another flood is that the first one was useless. (Chamfort)
The single raindrop never feels responsible for the flood. (Douglas Adams)
There's no radar image for a water crisis. No storm surges, no debris fields - the Tap-Out is as silent as cancer. There's nothing to see, and so the news is treating it like a sidebar. (Jarrod Shusterman)
Three things it is best to avoid: a strange dog, a flood, and a man who thinks he is wise. (Welsh Proverb)
When we talk of flood control, we usually think of dams and deeper river channels, to impound the waters or hurry their run-off. Yet neither is the ultimate solution, simply because floods are caused by the flow of water downhill. If the hills are wooded, that flow is checked. If there is a swamp at the foot of the hills, the swamp sponges up most of the excess water, restores some of it to the underground water supply and feeds the remainder slowly into the streams. Strip the hills, drain the boglands, and you create flood conditions inevitably. Yet that is what we have been doing for years. (Hal Borland)

Thunderstorms

Quotes

Electricity is really just organized lightning. (George Carlin)
I loved watching the base of those thunderstorms, the billowing tops of the cumulonimbus, the lightning that effortlessly lit up the lake and the sky. It was gorgeous, so energetic. I was in love. (Ginger Zee)
Loud roared the dreadful thunder, the rain a deluge showers. (Andrew Cherry)
Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work. (Mark Twain)
With luck you have better things to do than wait for lightning to strike. (Paul Lauterbur)

The Thunder

(John Clare)

The thunder mutters louder and more loud
With quicker motion hay folks ply the rake
Ready to burst slow sails the pitch black cloud
& all the gang a bigger haycock make
To sit beneath—the woodland winds awake
The drops so large wet all thro' in an hour
A tiny flood runs down the leaning rake
In the sweet hay yet dry the hay folks cower
And some beneath the wagon shun the shower.

A Thunderstorm

(Emily Dickinson)

The wind begun to rock the grass
With threatening tunes and low, —
He flung a menace at the earth,
A menace at the sky.

The leaves unhooked themselves from trees
And started all abroad;
The dust did scoop itself like hands
And throw away the road.

The wagons quickened on the streets,
The thunder hurried slow;
The lightning showed a yellow beak,
And then a livid claw.

The birds put up the bars to nests,
The cattle fled to barns;
There came one drop of giant rain,
And then, as if the hands

That held the dams had parted hold,
The waters wrecked the sky,
But overlooked my father's house,
Just quartering a tree.

A Thunderstorm

(Archibald Lampman)

A moment the wild swallows like a flight
Of withered gust-caught leaves, serenely high,
Toss in the windrack up the muttering sky.
The leaves hang still. Above the weird twilight,
The hurrying centers of the storm unite
And spreading with huge trunk and rolling fringe,
Each wheeled upon its own tremendous hinge,
Tower darkening on. And now from heaven's height,
With the long roar of elm-trees swept and swayed,
And pelted waters, on the vanished plain
Plunges the blast. Behind the wild white flash
That splits abroad the pealing thunder-crash,
Over bleared fields and gardens disarrayed,
Column on column comes the drenching rain.

Oops! My Name is Mud
It was a perfect morning for anyone with new boots. Enough rain had fallen in the night to fill the gutters with muddy streams and to bring worms squirming out of the lawns onto the sidewalks. (Beverly Cleary)
There is the mud, and there is the lotus that grows out of the mud. We need the mud in order to make the lotus. (Nhat Hanh)
We can't blame children for occupying themselves with Facebook rather than playing in the mud. Our society doesn't put a priority on connecting with nature. In fact, too often we tell them it's dirty and dangerous. (David Suzuki)
The World is Mud-luscious and Puddle-wonderful. (e. e. cummings)
You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it. (Denzel Washington)

Poem to Mud

(Zilpha Keatley Snyder)

Poem to mud-
Poem to ooze-
Patted in pies, or coating the shoes.
Poem to slooze-
Poem to crud-
Fed by a leak, or spread by a flood.
Wherever, whenever, whyever it goes,
Stirred by your finger or strained by your toes,
There's nothing sloppier, slipperier, floppier,
There's nothing slickier, stickier, thickier,
There's nothing quickier to make grown-ups sickier,
Trulier coolier,
Than wonderful mud.

Little Black Rain Cloud
Uncloudy Day
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining. (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
The sun always shines above the clouds. (Paul F. Davis)
We pledge to fight 'blue-sky thinking' wherever we find it. Life would be dull if we had to look up at cloudless monotony day after day. (Gavin Pretor-Pinney)
We talk of sunshine and moonshine, but not of cloud-shine, which is yet one of the illuminations of our skies. A shining cloud is one of the most majestic of all secondary lights. (Alice Meynell)

Clouds

(Christina Rossetti)

White sheep, white sheep
On a blue hill,
When the wind stops
You all stand still,
You walk away slow.
White sheep, white sheep
Where do you go?

White Clouds

(Naseer Ahmed Nasir)

White clouds
Morphing wonderfully
Watch those bears
Changing into
Rows of elephants
Shaping like
A frail old man standing
Rearranging into children
Playing with balloons.

White clouds
Sway on cradle of the wind
Occasionally shrivel
With toil and sadness
At times inflate
With joy and gladness
Never forget
Heaven nor earth
They lie pendent
Between the two worlds.

White clouds
Strolling since eternity
Telling strange fables
Of grand olden dwellings
With a world of ancient souls
When there was nothing, but
A fluid of light,
A landscape of mist
And a suspended caravan
Of several ages.

White clouds, now
Moulding into somber faces, become
Storms sulking on the horizon.
Thousands of maladies thrive
Above and underneath the land.
White clouds
Course through hearts,
Surging in
The plasma flow of vessels.

Rainbow Quotes

If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.
Rainbows apologize for angry skies. (Sylvia Voirol)
There could be no rainbow without a cloud and a storm.
There is a way out of every dark mist over a rainbow trail.
We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that a savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter. (Mark Twain)

The Rainbow

(Christina Rossetti)

Boats sail on the rivers,
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.

The Rainbow

(Walter de la Mare)

I saw the lovely arch
Of Rainbow span the sky,
The gold sun burning
As the rain swept by.

In bright-ringed solitude
The showery foliage shone
One lovely moment,
And the Bow was gone.

My Heart Leaps Up

(William Wordsworth)

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!

Page Idea

Put a rainbow sticker in upper corner of the page, tilted somewhat. Use design line stripes to continue the 'rainbow' along the top and side of the page. The colors don't match exactly, but that's OK, because you cover the seams with cloud stickers.
