Rainwater

A rain barrel near the house While the rain is pouring The rain barrel catches raindrops Filling the barrel up to the top Rainwater is useful It is good for gardens Used to wash the plants While refreshing them Rainwater makes small pools The birds bath in puddles They also drink the water Rainwater is not wasted

Hi Darlene, I found reading your poem to be, refreshing and informative. Rain has been scarce lately and it’s a good idea to get a barrel to catch the rain. Thanks for sharing your tips on what we can use the rainwater for. Have a wonderful day:) Alexis
