Rain

Contest Entry for OVI Poetry Contest

Clouds angry and black rolling in.
Raindrops certain to start again.
Lightning flashes, thunder begins.
Another stormy night.

Drops of rain pitter and patter,
Then arrive with such a clatter,
It’s the only sound that matters;
Silencing all else.

Left in its wake the faint drip drop
Of spent rain that will slowly stop
In its descent from my rooftop
Forming puddles below.
