Oh Let the Raindrops Keep Falling
I saw from the balcony
small puddles on the street
expanding concentric circles
each disappearing, as another takes its place
one after another in an ending chain
as the raindrops keep falling.
The patterns were of set design
identical in shape and size
the ripples round and growing
rolling and dissipating.
Existing in every watery formations
as long as the raindrops fell
the wind moves the clouds away
and they give way.
The little pools of water remain, quivering
reflecting the sky above and images of
square, rectangles or triangles of buildings alongside
drying up as the sun peeps out and shines.
