Summer Rain

Listen to the raging summer rain

Mercilessly battering the ground

Bouncing like rubber balls all around. 

Rain is a little miracle gained

In the desert when it comes unbound. 

My head is made silent by the sound. 

This sense of cleanliness will remain

Because everything has been washed down. 

The corner curbs of the street have drowned!

Harder still it strikes my window pane. 

A peculiar sun breaks through a cloud

Tho’ the raindrops continue to pound. 

Listen to the raging summer rain. 

Reviews

[Stu. T.H.]

I too favour the sounds of a beating rain. Though, I also pray for all the bypassers to be sheltered away from it.
A very moving work with a sense of tingling notion to it animating the rain's captured motions. Thank you for sharing your work, author Amy Michelle Moster.
