Comes Forth the Rain

comes forth the rain, riding a cloud bucking, straining, fighting the reins snorting, cavorting, brassy and loud comes forth the rain, riding a cloud rambunctious colt, kicks loose the drain landscape obscured, wrapped in a shroud water is sheeting, down to the plains comes forth the rain, riding a cloud paired but untamed, neither is cowed rider gets thrown, back on again headstrong, stubborn meets angry and proud comes forth the rain, riding a cloud ---------- for the 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 13 Poetry Contest sponsored by Mark Toney written on 05/05/2022

Dear Jeff, this expressive piece is metaphorically vivid and vibrant! I especially enjoyed; "rambunctious colt, kicks loose the drain".. such animated and energized imagery. Congratulations for your excellent win in Mark's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
