Rain Quatrains In Four Movements

I
The winds were loudly whistling,
Blowing the trees’ leaves all around;
God sneezed and misty rain fell to the ground;
In an instant, blades of green grass began to glisten.
 
                           II

The lightening choreographed its self
Throughout the air;
In the far distance, the loud thunder
Was heard clashing;
The heavily burdened clouds had taken in
All they could bare…
Suddenly, giant balls of pelting hail began
Their icy trashing…

                         III
Curious about the rain caused strife,
   The sun peeped to investigate;
Unaware—the Devil was beating his wife,
   The sun’s concern was a bit too late.

                        IV
It’s known, rain is no friend to the desert’s growth;
And that floods care less where they might spread.
   Such strange fellows are the both;
   Happily sharing the same old bed…
