Persephone's Tears

The rain dashed itself against the asphalt. Angled, silver, shards, pummeled the pavement, Pelted puddles in a staccato rhythm. Rapidly expanding and contracting circles, Cha cha-ed to the sound of castanets. Drain grills gaped and filled gurgling. Geysers erupted from the centrifugal spin of tires. The din of tin-tapped metal brightened the air. And with the lushness of life and rebirth; A spring day dawned.

Wonderful imagery that seems to burst forth allowing the break of day to arrive with a dramatic effect. Very well written. Michael
