Jeanne Mcgee Poet Rhyme

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

Sand Blown June 28, 2020 at 5:05 PM ...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 Jeanne Mcgee June 28, 2020 at 11:53 PM and music to my ears...:D
