Summertime Symphony

I’m listening to a symphony Of raindrops overhead A haunting melody Played in grey drops instead Muted sounds coat this place Upon grasses tall and green Golden frilly fronds do gleam First the pat….pat…patty…pat Of the plump big drops Sliding down the rooftops Beside the pit…pitty..pit…splat Random leaf sputter sound Hitting the dampened ground Then along comes the deep base Bob~bobbity~bob off the cedar Hitting branch and roof Cacophony of sounds softly spoof A tune Bach would surely meter I was glad no cymbals came to clash As the lightening never glowed Nor did partner thunder ever show Just a gentle falling symphony A summertime sprinkle harmony

...wowza….rain drops are....something of a music chord in a minor flat, maybe..... and just as certain music chords are used for specific audience reactions, 'sounds of rain' seems natures voice is sometimes as a symphonic operatic song.....stan sand
