The Rain Poured
By Pauline Harris
(*)
Upon waking
I heard the sound
It was pounding
On the roof
I got up to check
As the rain came
For many days
Good to cool
The earth
and refresh
The earth
Green grass
Green trees
But so much water
Everywhere
Over the roads
Down the alley
Over the ditches
Into the woods
Gushing
And moving fast
Seems like water
Everywhere
Hold on…
The sprinkles
Are slowing
Small breaks
In the clouds
A bit of sunshine
Shining brightly
Maybe
Just maybe
A small break
At least until
The next storm
