Rain Vision

Peering through the lattice chains Of transformed lucent windowpanes; The pelting water blurs my view Of lights down on the avenue. Racing droplets filled with light, From flashing neon signs at night; All sparkle, bubbling up like soap, As jewels in a kaleidoscope. Pounding torrents fast then slow, That splatter, splashing to and fro; Cause panes of glass to smear and streak, While moisture levels reach their peak. Then passing on, the shower goes, With all its dazzling diamond shows; And, as the raindrops disappear, The view again grows plainly clear.
