Patrick Kelly Poet Rhyme

Rocky Mountain Rain

Thunder rolls above the peaks
Lightning racing in blinding streaks
Clouds hanging over canyon walls
Waiting, waiting for the rain to fall

Lightning explodes against the cliffs
Flashes of light from heaven, itself
Thunder roars its mighty drum
Waiting, waiting for the rain to come

Flames piercing the blazing heart
Rips the mountain as it tears apart
Still, rain does not appear,
Teasing the mountain as not to hear


The bounding beat of nature’s drum
Waiting, waiting for the rain to come
A vertical lake of water it came
The mountain rose up to meet,
To welcome, to embrace the rain

L Milton Hankins December 10, 2021 at 2:48 PM Patrick, I really enjoyed your poem. It made me think of my childhood home up in the West Virginia hills. Very good writing. Thanks!
