@+e Forum Raindrops

  I watch the Raindrops rolling down my window pane As the storm grows stronger by the minute The trees are bending in the strong wind Trying to shelter there a little Linnet Who looks drenched and so forlorn Trying to find shelter from the rain I wish I could give him a better place to shelter And keep him warm and dry again A soaking wet Deer goes running by Scuttling fast across the lawn Trying to find shelter in the woods Followed quickly by a little light brown fawn Nature can be quite cruel when it wants to be Especially in a Windy, Rainy storm Like me I suppose they must be thinking I need a place that’s safe and warm The raindrops still fall for quite while Dark clouds remain overhead for hours My gaze is interrupted by Seeing all the bedraggled flowers Their petals being blown everywhere Strewn across the ground like blanket of colour Their stems now swaying in the wind Which look so sad a duller
As I gaze through the trickling raindrops The storm seems to moving away It’s getting brighter by the minute Maybe it will be a brighter day Everything looks so wet and windswept It makes me sad to see what damage has been done But at least we are being greeted By a lovely drying Sun.
