Rain

God’s dreadful tears, very well known as rain,
Sometimes makes the Earth very dull and gray,
Water droplets run down the window pane,
Power is gone, traffic is in delay.

Games are cancelled, thunder rumbles about,
Energized kids get muddy on the grass field,
Flowers get drenched in water as they sprout,
Parents use their umbrellas as a shield.

But, on the other hand, rain can be fun,
Children put on their colorful rain hats,
Jumping into huge puddles on the run,
Mothers say “Don’t get water on the mats!”

Some people believe that rain is dreary,
It also makes people really cheery.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson

Great job! I loved the rythm and the imagery. It made me picture the world before and during a rainstorm :)
