Echoes

Abrupt change Wet rain pours; Misty landscape scene ~~~~~~~~~ Roadside kerb Walkway water puddles; Splash of speeding cars ~~~~~~~~~ Wet window panes A thousand droplets; Random pattern ~~~~~~~~~ Umbrella parade Wetness everywhere; Rush for cover ~~~~~~~~~ Jagged lightning Electric sizzle; Trees uprooted ~~~~~~~~~ Massive traffic jam Old giant tree falls; Two road lanes blocked ~~~~~~~~~ Little people drenched Colourful raincoats; Cutesy parasols ~~~~~~~~~ Wetness soaks Wet shoes busy; Rainy commotions ~~~~~~~~~ Touch of flu bout Sniffles and cough; Sore throat lingers ~~~~~~~~~ Drowsy dizzy feel Flu hits the roof; Bedside manners rest ~~~~~~~~~ Blur sensations Mind groggy here; Too much medication ~~~~~~~~~ Rainy day people Stay indoors; Wetness hurls cold ~~~~~~~~~ Bronchial nuisance Coughing bout chokes; Heavy breathing hiss ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 25 November 2015 Singapore
