Let it Rain
Incessant rain fell like wet sheets.
Large wet drops and some hail
That bet upon the large, though thick windows.
Each drop a quiet thought in nature’s hand.
No one dared to venture into the streets.
Even sturdy umbrellas were useless
Considering the force of the wind
That blew all around the city blocks.
Outside it was like gelid frost,
But not inside where a fireplace spread heat.
They hugged each other for more warmth.
From the large windows, they studied the storm.
Rainwater flooded the streets.
Large rivulets gurgled into drains.
Who said rain falls mainly on the plain?*
Must have been a joke.
* From My Fair Lady.
