The Town Of Years Of Rain And The Man That Poem by Pete O'H

there is a town
(not far from here)
where it hasnt stopped
raining
for...a forgotten
number of years
and[ everyone
in ]the town
has forgotten
how to smile(!)
or sing
and the trees and the flowers
(which cant grow in such a sad place;
they) cant be seen
for miles around
, except
at one house
where a young.man
! lives!
at the top of the hill(.)
in a flowerful house
surrounded by trees,
he has remembered
what happy is
, with a kind mind,
he beats the doom and gloom
of his sneering neighbors
who can never understand
how
he claims to be free(?)
with an open book/
and a child's
mind/
