R for Rain...

I hear the patter of an unrelenting rain

Drenching the trees and bending the branches

Bathing the carpet of shivering flowers

Soaking in full the parched brown earth

In a little while the rain seems slowing

The dark clouds were seen lifting

Out of pall of gloom the sun is showing

Soon the sky was bright and shining

The roads  are full with water  flowing

Bringing out  the  urchins smiling and  dancing

Soon the paper boats in plenty  are seen sailing

And the people on the  road to homes scurrying

I love to play in the rain

I love the cool it gives

I love its touch on  my skin

I love the muddy smell it gives

I love  the droplets falling on my head

I love the spattering noise on my roof

I love to watch it falling outside my window
