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
