Raindrops

"raindrops"

as raindrops fall
bouncing upon the pane
countless thoughts run
deep within my mind
escaping me from reality

blooming flowers droop
causing only stems
dark is the sky
enlisting quietness
forcing a state of mind

clouds finally roll by
dancing a pasodoble
engaged am I
facing new passion
great power wakes

SkyWatcher  - 04-24-17

all is well
just practicing the abc format

Lovely imagery, Lisa. How would think that something as simple as rainfall could inspire such delightful prose. Well done! Regards, John.

What a lovely poem! The rain for some has an almost cathartic power on the mind and I love the way passion awakes as the clouds are dancing away. Lisa, I think you are so immensely talented because you can evoke so much in our mind, with just a few light strokes:) Amitiés

Lovely poem and format my friend. It seems the practice has paid off because you have crafted a wonderful piece here. And it is true, stormy days can cloud our thoughts but eventually the sun will come out and the beauty that appears because of the rain with lift our spirits and show us that there is good in everything. Beautifully done my friend.

The rains will quench the soil and all will bloom... Without knowing darkness we cannot fully appreciate the light.
