The Rain PoursA Poem by Pasquale LorinaThe Clouds fill the sky like soiled cotton A great fog seizes the ceiling above us Ominous like the thief in the night, the sky is gone Drops of water begin to fall, ladies walking cover their heads From the heavens the lord begins to cry Waters like razors comes storming down The sidewalk and earth becomes overwhelmed with the crushing of the water Banging like nails into a tree, the rain comes jetting down Splashes and puddles fill the city streets The young flowers in bloom get battered and bludgeoned Earthworms begin to emerge from the soaked soil A birdbath overflows in haste Rain is here that notorious beast It gives life, like milk to a baby The violent pouring feeds the garden that grows We yearn for it yet we curse it
