A Symphony of Rain

The Symphony of Rain I gazed outside my patio the gray clouds formed a dire dun A clap of thunder sent its hint and lightening followed as a spark The season for the rain has come and rain descends and spreads a song A steady stream of decibels intensifies a melody The chorus joined by flowered plants birch and Palm trees dance and sway Repeating verses to a lull then soon there are the single drops dripping then there is no sound A rainbow arcs around the sky The birds return and greet the sun They languish in the water fount and sing an encore to the end Ralph Sergi September 3, 2018 *I wrote this poem while watching and listening to a tropical storm. It was very enlightening

I just adore your vibrant and vivid verses, Ralph. Indeed, like you, I appreciate the beauty of a symphony of rain and you captured, so elegantly, the beautiful nuances of the rhythms and sweetness of its song. Superb imagery flows easily through your lovely poem. Warmest wishes always my friend.. ~Susan

Hi Susan: Thank you. Some poets are limited to their approach on a poem but when you feel the inspiration, go for it!

A tin roof adds timpani, but a palm frond roof adds ants by the drip, yet for free entertainment, even children find storms exciting. Mahalo nui loa! Aloha! Rico
