Rain streams from the sky
On this September day,
It just will not stop.
It hits the ground and flows away
Down the hills,
Along the roads
Into the drains
Or into Our River.
From Our River it flows to the sea
And the oceans are filled,
They flow around the world.
As the water lifts from the sea
In a mist of wonder
Into the heights of clouds
Who move on over the land
And spill their drops all over
Bringing life to all in our world.

Nice poem .. and I quite agree (who wouldn't) regarding the importance of rain & of course water, but over the last few days in particular & pretty much throughout summer I could have near drowned in it several times .. Neville
Thanks Neville. Yes it has been a bit damp lately.
Andy

Dear Andy, we have certainly had a deluge of rain recently. An empty water butt in our garden completely filled to overflowing in a couple of hours. Torrential it was. Of course we need it, but I prefer a bit of moderation. Some fine imagery in your poem and I enjoyed your posted music. Have a happy Tuesday, despite the weather.
Very true Cassie, it has been chucking it down and yes I always prefer moderation.
Thank you for your kind words.
Andy
We must be in synch today Gold if you read my poem it is a bit eerie how close the two are. I feel like I am reviewing my own poem. And what will others think? lol
Very true soren, it is strange how these things happen.
Andy
I think it's raining everywhere in Europe we have had the worst September I've ever seen, personally I love it though. 🌹
Very true Teddy, I was speaking to a friend yesterday who was travelling in a camper van around France and he said it was only in the south that they could find dry land.
Andy
Good write, Andy. Some places get so much and some so little. Bad water management.
Very true Jerry, they need a new manager. LOL

My goodness! How on earth is it that you're writing about my day here in Lincoln's Land?! Is it mere coincidence??! I can't believe it. Awesome. So very beautiful and rendered to effect with the perfect ambiance and such details its subtle poignancy winks at me, I swear. Thank you for sharing.
Most kind Missy and much appreciated.
