Dimpra Kaleem Poet Free verse

Rain

There's nothing to gain 
From perpetual rain
Cos from one day to the next
It's never the same.
Sometimes it blatters
The next day it splatters
And gets to the point where nothing else matters 
It dribbles from a slate grey sky
It gushes from clouds so black and so high
It ruins a perfectly good washing day
And makes mum say words I'm forbidden to say

It rains in Spain
It gets wet in Tibet 
Its a right royal pain 
And I'm willing to bet
That if there was a place called Chrising Town 
It wouldn't not very nice at all

The farmers they like it
It helps with the crops
But from acid to purple 
I just prey that it stops. 
Because water to me
Should be next to the sand
Not turning to mud 
What was once nice dry land
Not making dad swear 
When his car gets stuck 
Or getting mums death stare 
When I walk in fresh muck

Now everythings damp
And everythings soggy 
You can't see a thing
Cos it's ever so foggy. 
And even if the sun does come out
It doesn't look well 
Like it shouldn't be out
On a day like this
For even the moon
That once was so shiny
Like a big silver spoon 
Is now pale and quite tiny
And wishing like me
It was summer again. 
Cos the rain seems to be 
Not much of a friend. 

The End

David Smith February 4, 2020 at 12:18 AM Too much rain a pain I agree but the odd rainy day means I have an excuse not to weed the garden and can sort out cupboards, work on my hobbies reduce clutter. All the best David in NZ

Darlene De Beaulieu August 8, 2019 at 2:42 PM Hello Dimpra Kaleem, Sometimes rain falls when we rather have a dry day. So we can do things outside. Rain is needed though for the dry fields that are dry from the sun. Have a nice day my friend.
