Rain-A Poem


You come gently
Sometimes falling quickly
Sometimes slowly

Falling
Dropping on the ground
Splish splash, the cars go by

Water
Everywhere
Cars spewing water

As a poet spews her confession
Her secrets
Her victories and shame

Miserable
I do not want to go out
Hide me under the blanket

Crying
God cries now?
Why shouldn’t I?

Thunder
Nordic Gods bowling
Loci in the building, hola.

Lightning
Zeus throwing his bolt
Fighting with his wife after an extramarital affair

Children
Walking with froggy and ducky raincoats
Engaging and avoiding the puddles

Adults
Whining
“Why does it have to rain?”

Cleaning
The pain goes away
The hurt of the past week down the sewer drain

Rainbow
A treat
The storm is over

Sun
Bright yellow ball
We appreciate it after the storm has gone
