The Rain

The rain was needed so they say
It's been coming mostly with sighs
Thunder noisily rolling through each day
Lightning flashes, flashes by. 

Sometimes the birds are very, very quiet
Then I hear the Doves coo, coo to me 
Suddenly thunder rolls over their Hyatt
After the lightning flashes for them to see

It is amazing how birds and other animals survive storms and other natural events, but most do. Thank you, Sara B., for dropping by. I appreciate you spending your time here. Sara K

What a very vivid poem, seems the birds are tired of the rain, and the doves are comforting until the thunder drowns out their sweet cooing. We had a lot of rain a couple of weeks ago and kept us busy trying to keep the yard from flooding into the shed where I have all my Holiday decorations. I was so glad when that rain subsided, and yes, we needed the rain too, but sometimes it can come in a bit over the top, and we want it to simply go away. Our cat was hiding, terrified of the thunder.

I understand the pet's fear. I have a rat chi who is terrified of weather as well. Yes, Bj, I agree that sometimes even when we need rain, we do want a break from it. Thank you for dropping by and leaving such a nice review of my work. Sara K
