A Torrential Downpour

Cascading in a rush
With a vociferous gush
Big drops on the crown
Poured steadfastly down
Amidst lightening and storm
And a loud thunderous sound
Playful restless 
With a mischievous step
Banging at the door
Of her little head
 A frenzied lot
Of deafening knocks 
Raring roaring
Persistent, non stop...
Deftly she caught some
Coalesced  them into a poem.

Writers note
This poem, ( title changed) incidently my first submission at poetry soup last year, signifies the surge of words, a metaphoric downpour engulfing the mind of a poet , deafening in their intensity.The poet's creative skills weave out a poem from this divine gift, rapping at the doors.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am a practising orthodontist and manage to write poems whenever I can squeeze time out from my schedule. Best Wishes Sushma
