Flip-Flops

Plain droplets plink downward risk-free.
Rain, that bristles on panes, weighty.
Rip-roaring, soaring, not boring,
as wind assists an outpouring.
Angled and claustrophobic dance.
Can’t see the light; cars take a stance.
Sky, a blue-gray, wiper flip-flops.
Shy, the soft pelts of ho-hum drops.

I sense the rhythm of the wipers in the rain. It always seems to chill me. I like evolution of words. I like how the rain seems to be a participant in the poem.
