I see thousands of raindrops
each a crystal-clear tear
splitting into countless smaller drops
each finding its own way
They sway
changing direction
coating the green leaves
with tiny clinging beads
Slowly they summon the will to collide
merging into other droplets
that fall to the ground
thus joining countless others that have jumped
into a tiny stream threading through the earth
Some dance in the air
painting a rainbow
with a slanted spectrum of colors
Others drift toward the lake
tickling its surface
with their little fingers
The lake does not complain
the droplets quench its thirst
The flowers receive them with joy
and the earth opens its bosom
greedily absorbing the nourishing drops
to bring forth new life.

Rain is one of nature's most beautiful things I think

I've visited Puerto Rico and I do think it's lovely! Your poem's description certainly is as well!
Again beautiful images of nature with metaphor and feeling. Very nice
Soren, I live in Puerto Rico where the rain is an almost a daily event. My wife when she was a young girl, she loved to get soaked in the rain. Every time I write a rain poem, I have her in my mind. I'm thankful for your comments and for taking out of your precious time to read my poem. Thank you!
