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."

Too many people grow up. That&#039;s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don&#039;t remember what it&#039;s like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won&#039;t do that.

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