Rain-Rain

Falling in single droplets yet forming one heavy downpour Yet cometh from nothing much more than vapor Thudding on the roof like a May Day cry And taking over the place where the humans once pry Rain-rain Graduating from drops to drizzles and eventually to blizzards Scaring away the sky birds, ground humans and even the monitor lizards Making the world fresher, yet still causing hazards Rain-rain Darkening the sky with all its thunderous might Changing even the brightest of noons to the ebony of the night Yet striking and lightning with so bright a light But not sparing the excited kids and adults alike of fright Rain-rain With a touch of coldness that sends shivers down the spines A touch of wetness that sends persons collecting cloths from the lines With flowers shying and trees swaying, even the pines Rain-rain Carrying away the rich brownness of the top soil Where crops would sprout only if the farmers could toil Yet if the crops come before, it would still come and spoil With the valor of a python waiting in a coil Rain-rain go away!
