Nature's Rage

Nature's rage during a Summer rain storm.

Nature’s Rage

 

From my porch, I hear their small

tapping liquid feet.

Pitter patter, raindrops fall

fast and bittersweet.

 

Traffic screech’s to a crawl

on my flooded street

as a somber murky pall

merges with concrete.

 

Nature’s raging protocol

lifts the Summer’s heat

from embroiled urban sprawl

pounding it with sleet.

 

On this day, I watch them all

drowning in conceit

sinking under waves of gall

suffering defeat.

Very interesting portrayal of rain. Quite humorous and clever. Clever rhyme scheme too with abab maintained throughout the poem and not just each stanza. Some good use of personification too, especially in the last stanza. Well done!

Thanks for your detailed review, Augustus! Also, all rhyme words are exact rhyme words, and no rhyme word is used more than once.
