RAIN

Rain

 

As morning breaks open,

 

a flutter of raindrops taps silently against my windowsill,

 

Tip tap, tip tap…

 

Ominous clouds scatter above the endless drops of rain,

 

Soon to be poured above the poor earth.

 

Flasks of water strike toward the helpless soil,

 

Down and down they went.

 

That is rain…

PS: 记得那天在 Fremont Library 给多儿买了一本诗集，回到家趁热打铁，拔苗助长了一下下，这就是结果，嘿嘿！！不过郁闷地说， 这孩子用的词，怎么居然有我不面熟的呐！！
