A Shy Sullied Sun

The nonstop drip, drip, dripping drops of rain, drum pitter-patter patterns on my brain. And I slowly start to slip-slide past sane, while endless dripping drops drive me insane. For many miserable months, it pours, and a dank depression drains me of hope. As misery manifests, boredom soars, and deprived of light, I am forced to cope. It's a moody, melancholy Monday, another awful, rotten, rainy day. And that rat-a-tat-tat sound slams away like monsoon madness on constant replay. Fast-flowing flash floods wash away the land as this wretched weather gets out of hand. Then, a shy sullied sun shines, clouds disband, and the sweet sound of silence sounds so grand.
