Raindrop Soliloquy

Raindrop Soliloquy  

My raindrop hides into a tiny nook
to signal of a pending storm to come
a lightning strike prepares to make its scene
the consequences may be dire
the night portends the ominous clouds
Behold… the massive rain begins to pour
its thrum creates a classic fugue
of music to entice a thunder roll
slamming roofs as heavy stones 
caressing palms to sway with ease
with swoops of air then all is calm
then dripping on the leaves and eaves
the bear has left its safety lair
and sees the raindrop in the nook
he licks it then he moves along
another raindrop glows as gold
reflected by the morning sun
when all  beginnings have an end
my raindrop will reappear again

Wow, there's a magical quality to your poem that s so delightful. Especially love the way you sum up: "when all beginnings have an end, my raindrop will reappear." Excellent on many levels, Ralph. Great entry for the contest. Hugs, Carolyn
