Raucous

Raucous, rollicking rain
Rambles on hills and plains,
Relishes rumbles in
Raptures of raw laughter,
Raindrops razzle-dazzle,
Rambunctious and rowdy,
Riots of rakish rascals

Thank you so much, Terry! Even though we don't like dark days of storms or getting wet, I think raindrops have a sense of humor and fun! Cheer and blessings! 😀

What a stunning poem. This is not simply a Pleiades, it is onamatopoeic and beautifully alliterative, a fine example of your wonderful creativity! I expected this would be placed high. But sad its beauty is overlooked. Much enjoyed 'the riots of the rakish rascals'. Have a great week ahead, sweet Sam.

My Dearest Rhyme Time Friend, I am ever enchanted by this rollicking roll of raucous imagery down the poetic page. It pours "r" sounds in creative word combinations, and shines in showers of alliteration. A cloudburst of creativity overflows the rain barrel with "Riots of rakish rascals"!! Wow! Love it my sweet poetry sis! Your artistry is vivacious and amazing. Warmest wishes sent on drizzle beads of inspiration.. ~Susan

It's some time since I dropped in on a Sam Kauffman poem and I'm glad I have today. I like the razzmatazz, exuberance and boisterousness that your words conjure up. I had fun reading it and I bet you had fun writing it. It shows. Cheers - Gary

Wow this is absolutely stunning! In few lines, using pleiades form youve painted imagery in such sheer eloquence. I also love your choice of words, they are creative and so unique. As i read this i can visualise a very happy ambience of rain , and laughter. Excellent alliterations, and SV is right this does sound like a tongue twister! Clever! You are so very talented and you can nail any form effortlessly. Goodluck for the contest truly a winning take

Oh wow this is sooo good! "Rollicking rain rambles on hills and plains" I love that imagery and wordplay! "Raptures of raw laughter" The R word-magic has really made this Pleiades a very whimsical and splendid one to read.. This is absolutely amazing for the contest, best of luck :)

Thank you so much Hiya! I so agree that there is a magic to an "R" word as it rolls off of the tongue like raindrops. Having grown up in the pacific NW, I got to experience the whimsical side of rain. Was so much fun to put that into words and share its playfulness. So grateful for your good wishes! Blessings to you!
