Hail


Hail, Hail
Tiny crystals
Falling fast

Inside I’ll go
Where it’s safe
To drift in sound,

With ear agape
I’ll listen closely,

As pellets dance
Atop roofs of tin
Igniting the symphonic in

Clink-a-clink, clink, clink, clink-a-clink

As each note plays
I wonder where
The first note hailed.

  1. We get a lot of hail here in the mountains of Colorado. Your poem paints a vivid picture and is potent for its size, like the hail it describes. Oh, thanks for the reply on Firestarter and I responded to you on Blue Topaz.

  5. When it begins to rain, I tend to wonder about the first drop too.
