spring
showers
sings in her
mellifluous
voice on the roof tops
aids the new birth
with sunshine's
gentle
love

It rained cats and dogs during a drought and the farmers were NOT amused
It rained cats and dogs and the county WORKERS were not amused
However they were grateful because there had been recent layoffs
Due to inflation, every...

Based on the BBC news article "Diamond rain falls on Saturn and Jupiter"

Mighty Jupiter - king of planets
Noxious gasses form a blanket
Fearsome storming - red spot raging
Timeless tempest never aging
Lightning cracking - breaks methane
Sooty puff clouds fall like rain
Clumping forming - makes graphite
Dropping further losing...

Safety tip: NEVER venture outside when it’s raining cats and dogs
The last time it rained cats and dogs the county workers were NOT amused
It rained cats and dogs during a drought and the FARMERS were not amused

When Gene Kelly sang in the rain he got...

Careening clouds catch condensation
careful to clutch them close,
like children clinging to cotton comfort
of mothers clothes.
Those fearful floods of fountain tears
forlorn in freefall, face uncertainty.
Failure of fortitude fading
as freedom faintly calls,
how haunting the hollow rush
of howling speed hangs,
half horrified how hills grow huge;
hallowed halls of home.
Quickening...

the season-change of the vagrant pole-star easily picks up a sip  
from the list of ducks of the night-watchers 

standing on the bye-lane of the horse-race … by the weight of the confession made 
by the spelling-mistakes of a moonlit night to the lotus-leaves...

When the world is cold,Frost is gold.
Yet Empty silver still grows.
Have no control over what is to come of it.
Still,I am to stand in motion.
Oh what the rain covets most,a final host.
A soliloquy of my stance.
Voiceless is the song.
However,audible is its message.
Sing of the pouring...

A Day of Precipitation

A window is a good place 
To look out
When it rains beautiful to see 
From a warm room 
A bookshelf of old friends 
Some remembered others
Rediscovered 
So let it rain, rain, rain....

Sometimes, when it rains it pours.. 
There is no time to take a pause. 
You drip a drop atop a page, 
and suddenly an ocean's rage
at being trapped inside a cloud
is roaring in you, clear and loud. 
You prepare yourself - it's coming now..

a placid scene
under eyeliner horizon
dew drops tearing across canopied skies

roiling thunder
shaking the earth and heavens
a flood falls, staining porcelain facade

the stream snaking its way
through flat-topped mountains
and forests untouched by man

the river returning to its origin
a sordid spring once wet with creation
now run dry by rage...

Precipitation

The wall on the other side of the road used to be
full of translucent sunlight, and no shadow dared
to cast its evening spell before five o´clock.

It has been raining for weeks now, grey sky and
drizzle the wall looks unpainted like melancholy
seen in the eyes of...

Behold no daylight,
After warm cloud covering.
Rain prepares to pour....
