Just Rain

Rainfall in Ghana



I watched
A steady downpour of rain
The other day.
A good rain,
All the smog
Was washed away.
A bad rain,
Kept my children
From outdoor play.

I watched
A steady downpour of rain
Fall on the ground.
A good rain,
A rhythmic pound
A poetry sound.
A bad rain,
Mud tracked inside
By my wet hound.

I watched
A steady downpour of rain
Beyond the glass.
A good rain
Filled lakes and streams
For trout and bass.
A bad rain,
Great mudslides flowed
Down through the pass.

I watched
A steady downpour of rain
Fall from the sky.
A good rain,
Gene Kelly danced
Umbrella high.
A bad rain,
Cashelle got soaked
As she ran by.

I watched
A steady downpour of rain
The other day.
Not a good rain,
Not a bad rain,
Just rain.
