Waiting For Rain To Stop

WAITING FOR RAIN TO STOP Down the misted glass door Droplets patter erratically Approaching the bottom of the pane With arthritic pain as their path Hesitates or stops at spots Of dirt or dust In the dusk of an autumn Monday, solemn with gloom As I wait for the pattern On the glass to cease Moving, and the sound Tick, tick, from the Tiny strikes of drops To stop, and only the Wind to sing along the Wetted pane turning dry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .. . . Written for and entered in Carol Brown's Contest RAINDROPS FALLING

Congratulations on your win in my "Raindrops Falling" contest Sidney. I had a very hard time judging this contest as most of the poems were so well written. Thank you for supporting my contest. Love, Carol
