In Appreciation of Summer Rain

Cloudburst, cascade, cataract . . . it rained.

Drenching deluge, downpour . . . it rained.

It ran, meandered, gushed and poured.
It spouted and splashed and spurted,
dropped, dripped, and dribbled,
streamed and surged and
~~~ f l o w e d ~~~~

and then,
it stopped.
Rising mists wreathed the mountains,
readying for another day . . .
another rain.
