The Storm

The rain is coming down
It’s pouring like a faucet from the sky
Beating on the metal roof
To the point where nothing can be dry

I walk to the window that reveals the storm
Droplets pounding on the dirt road
Turning it into a sea of mud 
It seems as if the sky is going to explode

I can feel the passion of the storm in my bones
The clatter drowns out every other sound
I can barely hear myself think 
It feels as if I could drown

I can barely see out of the window 
Blurring my vision of the world
When the wind suddenly picks up,
The trees seemed to be hurled

These sounds are so comforting
It brings me peace as the steady flow 
Then it starts to decrease
And the fiery passion starts to slow

Nice use of imagery and rhyme. You may want to change the category from I don't know to rhyme. You can do this by going to your poem and use the edit. Welcome to Poetry Soup! I hope you enjoy your time spent with us. Best wishes with your writing. Karen
