Some Raindrops On The Roof On The Leaves Of The Bushes Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is a rainy day today.
rain falls unceasingly on the rooftop
tracing the hidden ways of the gutter

falling gently on pines and leaves
of gentle bushes planted beside
a steel gate

painted red.The time comes
when the rain is so gentle and slow

pouring in rhtythm with the swaying
of the palm leaves

every dropp like the meeting
of a dew to another dew
glistening before my eyes

gentle sounds of raindrops
in cadence like a hammock
a swing like the flapping of
a pegion's wings
