Sam Kauffman Poet Dizain

Rain

Rain

Raindrops splashing – puddles fill the terrain;
Cloudbursts of downpours - springtime in the rain;
For oceans, steep hillsides - on flat terrain –
Soaked by liquid sunshine - showers of rain;
Rides summer thunder – pelting, pounding rain;
Coming down in buckets on the smooth plain;
Party for umbrellas – fancy and plain;
Drought welcomes rainstorms again and again;
Rain for fall in cities – on the mountain;
Music of winter on rain chains again.
