Droplets of Rain on a Tin Roof

Droplets of Rain on a Tin Roof

 

The rain falls
On the tin roof.
The tapping calls

In a relentless loop

 

A song dancing

As on the stage of life.

A poetic prancing

In steady rhyme.

 

Pecking its fingernails

In a tap dance of droplets.

All in one accord do they prevail,

Drumming in powerful sets.

 

Falling asleep to the sound

Of its musical tune.

A calmness found

In its truth.

 

Listen… do you hear?

In the quietness of your soul,

A gentle quaking in the ear

Which you bestow.

 

Be filled with

Hopes, dreams and truth,

But remember to cherish

Droplets of rain on a tin roof.

I can hear it, I can feel it, I can sense the rain around and above me. You have painted a very clear picture.

Nice poem! Love your way of words, drumming, fingernails. The "Listen... do you hear?" in the penultimate paragraph gave so much more life to the poem. Great write!
