Rainstorm
A single drop
plop, plop, plop
joining other drops plop, plop, plop
plopplopplopplopplopplopplopplopplop
into rivers, on to crops,
getting thicker, louder, quicker
in the cities on the streets
water coming down in sheets
raindrops dropping, never stopping
ad infinitum
plop, plop plopping

Katherine said: The inspiration came from hearing a single drop, loud and individual, and then the gradual building into a thunderstorm and more.
