Rainstorm
A single drop
plop plop plop
joining other drops
plopplopplopplop
plopplopplopplopplopplopplopplop
Suddenly the sky’s gone black and dark
as the rain keeps pounding hard
on the street, on the houses
battering windows, never fleeting
raining thicker louder quicker
in the city on the streets
water coming down in sheets
raindrops dropping, never stopping
until, until . . .
