Raindrop

September 17, 2016 8:53 pm


Raindrop
It started with a single raindrop
Plop, kerplunking, pitter, pat
That pooled in puddles deep and wide
Beside a dark and dewy thicket
Cricket chirping fades to droning
Moaning thunderous storm clouds loom
Soon the tempest bellows in
It started with a single raindrop.

  1. […] I had originally listed two poems in this post. I decided to give Raindrop her own voice. She moved HERE. […]

  4. These words red familiar, maybe not, either memory loss or confusion – a marvelous poem. 🌹

    I really like the onomatopoeia in this.

    1. Thank you! It’s been a while since I heard that word. Sound is very much a part of the experience of a storm. πŸ˜‰

      1. I had to look up the spelling, but you are right that sound is a major part of the storm experience. πŸ™‚

        1. I looked it up too. It is one thing I love about writing…how one needs to constantly research and learn new forms, words, etc. I really do love it! πŸ™‚

          1. You should see the crazy things I look up for my test writing assignments (as well as the crazy things I look up just because I’m me).
