And it rains

And it rains

Down the valleys waters gather becks filling fields flooding crops flattening
Biliously boisterous winds orchestrate frantic leaves manic dancing
Sheep for familiar shelter scatter faithfully follow flocking habits
And it rains

On the hill water takes the road cars slow nature decreeing dominion
Bumptious bending winds collect toss then tear man’s plastic indiscretions
We bow pull coats closer rush to cover fragility perspective sized
And it rains

In the sky clouds are darkly driving spilling colliding shipping oceans
Bombastic bulging winds roughly arrange impressive panorama
Birds battle whirlpool eddies feeding focused song silent survival mode
And it rains

Round the drooping garden flowers dripping stems snapping petals pulverised
Booming belligerent winds rip riotous order through all borders
Flora weeping fauna sanctuary seeking eloquent subsistence
And it rains

And it rains


And it rains

It’s raining here too...but I wasn’t seeing it quite so poetically.
Very beautiful and evocative.
Thank you

Hi Lindsay,
It's still raining here as well. I paricularly like the line - 'Biliously boisterous winds orchestrate frantic leaves manic dancing'a lovely image
