The Emerald City's REALLY green.
I think you know just what I mean.
There's water (WATER) everywhere
and no relief in sight.
I overheard Al Roker claim
Seattle can expect more rain.
But that was four long weeks ago
and still it hasn't stopped.
This constant rain is getting old.
My wrinkled feet are growing mold.
I think I'm growing gills as well
along with fish-like scales.
We soon will need old Noah's boat
to try and keep us all afloat
atop mud puddles large as lakes
that flood new land each day.
It's for the birds (especially ducks).
This liquid sunshine really sucks.
But like so much we hate in life,
it gives us cause to grow.
So here's to patience while it pours
and to those things we do indoors.
Like playing Scrabble with my wife
and reading to my kids.
P.S.
Dear Lord, please end this rainy streak
before Qwest Field begins to leak
and Seahawks players and their fans
watch victory drift downstream.

| PO BOOKS BY GREG ASIMAKOUPOULOS |
Sunday Rhymes & Reasons
Published June 4, 2009
Sunday Rhymes and Reasons is a compilation of inspirational poetry by America's pastor/poet laureate, Greg Asimakoupoulos. In this, his third volume of poetry, Pastor Greg paints word pictures that portray both the struggle and fulfillment that define a life of faith. His repertoire of rhymes celebrate rite-of-passage occasions like birth, baptism, marriage and death as well as the major holidays of the church and culture. It is a volume that illustrates the poet's love of words and of popular culture. The author dips his brush into a paint box of hubris, humor and honesty.
"Gloria and I have been encouraged by word pictures from Greg's pen that have celebrated both our ministry and God's presence in our world." – Bill Gaither, Gospel music composer/performer
"Gifted poet Greg Asimakoupoulos is a dear friend of our family. His poetry blesses, comforts, entertains, and provides inspiration for every season of life." – Natalie Grant, singer/songwriter/recording artist
