Watching Raindrops

Plip! plop!
watch the water drop
from the low rooftop
concentric ripples
in the puddle
spreading wavelets smooth …
sight and sounds that soothe …

One, two, three, four …
gone, but more,
then more …
count the drops
as each plops,
count the rings
emerge and surge
disappear,
again appear …
circles interlocking,
mesmerising dreamy rocking,
lulling lullaby.

HI Rhiannon

Rain can be very soothing, I think, and this poem captures the magic of it.

Thanks, Jean – replying while I've internet! I can remember sitting in a cafe, I think it was on a 'Carer's break' , and watching the drops plopping, and this starting to come to me! regards, Rhiannon
