Andrea Dietrich Poet Free verse

A Raindrop Lullaby

Small raindrops
pitter patter
against my window.
The sound the raindrops make
is nature’s soothing music,
a light shower lullaby.
No winds are howling,
so the raindrops fall softly,
almost like a glistening mist,
kissing the leaves on trees
and the lovely petaled faces
of my flowers.

I step out onto my deck
for a while,
enjoying the gentle song
of pitter patter.
Come, little raindrops.
Keep nourishing the plants
around my house.
I go back to my bedroom 
and lay my head on my pillow
until the raindrop lullaby
lulls me to 
a noon-time nap.

Valsa George July 2, 2024 at 9:01 PM This poem has made me feel the beauty of a gentle rain. Unfortunately after the first few rains, in the months of July, August and even September, the incessant rain make us wish if the rain had stopped. I love the way you have concluded the poem with a noon time nap, listening to the lullaby of the rain.

Ink Empress July 2, 2024 at 1:44 AM This is such a beautiful rain poem dear sweet andrea, im not always a fan of rain as it gets rough when it rains here. But reading this makes me like rain especially how youv described it with lines such as “ so the raindrops fall softly, almost like a glistening mist, kissing the leaves on trees and the lovely petaled faces of my flowers.” wow just beautiful imagery! I love this! A new fave for me!
