Connie Gildersleeve Poet Free verse

Unpredictable

I think the rain has to be my muse.
Sheets of unbent rain does fall.
Threads of silver drifting down,
Flowing through my pen effectively 
To quench my poetic thirst through verse

Impressive an unpredictable, it is,
Just like Mother Nature's moods.
It's so romantic and enlightening,
Or so raw and dramatic in it's fury.
The only thing predictable 
Is the unpredictability of it's swarths.
