Raindrop


Had some other things to do today, so I took a poem I had done a long, long while back and remixed it so to speak, changing a few words, structuring it a little and adding in a bit of projective verse.  Am working on some new pieces as well, and am planning on getting around to catch up on all the sites I've been not able to visit the past few days.  Anyhow.

Rain keeps dropping
at my feet,
feet,
feet
I look up
To the grey cloaked sky
and watch the drops fall
and watch the drops fall d
                                             o
                                                      w
                                                               n

The grass fills
Its thirst is quenched
The water pools on the pavement
Into cracks
it seeps
seeps
seeps
I hear the sounds
From below
So down stairs I do go
Flip on the lights
Flip that switch
And watch
As all things stored
Are    f        l        o       a       t        I        n       g by

I’m soon joined
By a concerned pair
Of eyes
No purring
As he meows
As his bathroom dr If ts slowly by

I put on my coat
And head on out
To the car I will go
But first
Raindrops
Keep f       
         A
         L
         L
         I
         N
         G at my feet
                           Feet
                                    feet

  2. Such a cheater using an older one. You under those damn bleachers again?..hahaha

    Didn't mean to rain on your parade, couldn't help myself. Like how you made them all at your feet, could be thought of as tears, your own type of rain, or that you protected yourself from the rain and all the other crap life throws at you, letting everything fall at your feet. Isn't that neat?

  3. Nice word play and sound effects - raindrops hitting near your feet (feet feet). Catchy. :)
