the sound of rain

as i walk outside

into the outstretched arms

of the darkened sky

i hear a roll of thunder

booming from afar

clapping

so i clap with them

the grumble

of hungry lions tummy

begging for food

similarly

the sky begs for attention 

and so i 

beg

and plead

for something unclear to me

as i stand

underneath an orchestra

i listen

to the sound of rain

I love nature poems and this is another great example of such. Thanks for sharing such a well written description of rain with me, I feel like I am underneath it with you listening to the choir of rain. Have a great day!

Very vividly done here Khoatoon. I can see you in this poem , this is what a reader waits for on a poem. Well done.

Nothing like a mild rain to wetten the earth. It does play music as it falls.LISTEN! Valentine

this was good. tummy to tummies though. might want to think of throwing out and plead. reason being the rolling down effect is almost musical without it, like transitioning into a short prosaic song
