Rain
There was a lot of
it today
Pounding on the
roof
Pouring from the
gutters
Creating ponds in
our driveway
Good weather for
ducks
More rain
Filling the river
Overflowing its
banks
But this is a
desert
Still more rain
Raincoat with hood
to cover me
Windshield wipers
are old
Water sprays up
from the road
Drivers forget how
to drive in rain
Back home in my dry
house
The sun peeks out
through the clouds
Water droplets on
leaves glisten
My spirits lift
with the light
But the dark clouds
in the distance
Warn me of more
rain to come
