Poem Day 3

Rain

Transparent drops splatter the windshield
Light at first
Growing in intensity

Now, streams pour down the window
Like creeks
Then stronger, faster

Rivers.

It started as a morning mist
A pleasant sprinkle
Now a deluge

For hours, it goes
Swelling ponds and lakes
Backing up on the streets
Turning all grass into marshy muck

Then suddenly, it stops

Happy flowers drink their fill
Trees explode in blooms of pink and white

Rain has come to renew
