Waiting Out the Rain

*written in real time* The clouds portended rain hours earlier But I chose to venture out anyway I failed to heed the forecast The skies changed from a blue to a gray hue The downpour is heavy and the clashes Of thunder is incessant Yet I'm in no hurry to reach my destination So I'll wait out the torrential rain I have neither an umbrella nor a raincoat So I seek shelter to kill time; too cold to get wet! Lest lightning forks it's tongue into me, I'd rather watch the pelting rain toss rings... Into water puddles in rapid succession Creating ripples. It's a captivating sight! I'll patiently wait here until The rain subsides. WEEK 1 MARCH 2019,any form-theme,upto max of 20 lines Sponsored by Brian Strand (Winner: 1st Place) Date written and posted: 04/02/2016
