It thundered as if it would rain; <br />Appeared sultry as if to feign; <br />The Sky was clear but blue-black now; <br />It looked as if the Rain would come! <br /> <br />The clouds were dense and moved slowly; <br />Lightning patterned the Sky fiercely; <br />The Wind was almost absent now; <br />It looked as if the Rain would come! <br /> <br />The Birds were quiet and nested; <br />Awaiting the downpour, they rested; <br />The Monsoon was active for now; <br />It looked as if the Rain would come! <br /> <br />A few droplets of Rain did fall; <br />Atop the heads of people on stroll; <br />Afraid, each hurried to his home; <br />It looked as if the Rain would come! <br /> <br />The Rain did come! The Rain did come! <br />For once rightly, the Rain did come!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rain-ii/
