Inspiration II

Wow, talk about inspiration.  Me and my littel hand held recorder went to town this morning in the rain.  Watched it reflecting light on the street, gathering on my window, making tracks down my window, listened to the sound of it agains the windows at home and in the car....Wrote three poems tonight about rain.
Here are two of them.  The other is posted separately.  Enjoy!

Raindrop rhythm

Drip

Drip drip drop

Plunk

Plunk plunk

Plunk

Plunk plunk

Faster now

Drip drip

Drip drip drip

Drip Drip drop

Drip drop

Drip drip drop

Drip drop

Quicker

Pit a pit a pit a

Pit a pit a pat

Pit a pat

Fast but soft

Pit a pat

Pit a pit a pat

Pit a pat

Pit a pit a pat

Still soft it begins to sizzle

Sizzle

Sizzle sizzle

On the window

Sizzle on the ground

It sizzles,

It spatters up

Spatters up like bacon in the pan

Chicken in the fryer

Spatters up

Sizzle Sizzle

Sizzle

Sizzle Sizzle

Sizzle

Slower now

Pit a

Pit a pit a pat

Pit a

Pit a pit a pat

Slowing again

Drip drip drip drop

Drip drip drop

Drip

Drip drip drop

Finally ending

Plunk

Drip drip drop

Polished Street

The rain soaked street

With polished shine,

Streaked with green and red and white lights

Contrasts the soft, somber, gray sky.
