Musical sound of rain
Against a corrugated roof
A wordless opera
Of drama and fraught
With worry of how to cope
What nature had brought
The planet’s frown
Sucking rain into its cracks
Giving breath to the roots
Of trees shriveling
Into dust on blistered ground
Parched and crippling
The deluge continues
Day after endless day
The energetic monsoon
Providing the needed fuel
Protecting earth’s mortality
In its season of renewal

“Musical sound of rain

As a kid, we had a tin roof. It was GREAT to sleep at night with the rain. Thanks for participating.
Thanks for reading it Roger! 😊
Your description injects emotion – both the discomfort and relief of the rain.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your feedback.
Hope you settle in your house quickly 😊
Thanks, Christine. At our age, nothing happens quickly, lol.
Oh yes! So true
Very evocative.
Thank you! Those word prompts today were not friendly 😊
