Rainy Day
By: Emma Welter

Down pours the rain
After awhile
It will all go down the drain

The sound soothes away any pain
The pitter-patter makes it worthwhile
Down pours the rain

The water collects in a lane
The rain goes down a narrow aisle
It will all go down the drain

Together the drops can bomb a large plane
But the drops alone are soft and fragile
Down pours the rain

After the intensity starts to wane
​It is clear that the stream stretches for a mile
It will all go down the drain

The sound slowly becomes mundane
It no longer brings a smile
Down pours the rain
​It will all go down the drain

Author's Note: ​I wrote this poem on a rainy day. It was calming at first, but after a couple of hours I was annoyed that I couldn't go outside without getting wet.
