Rainfall
By Abby K
Rainfall falling softly on the jungle floor
Pitter Patter, Splish Splash
Rehydrating Air, filling dry Lakes and Rivers, ending heat
Rainfall falling softly on the jungle floor
Persistent little drops of water bringing life to plants, crabs, birds
Vibrant leaves collecting dewdrops
Fresh drops of water falling into Mother Earth
Rainfall falling softly on the jungle floor
Pure, Fresh, Everlasting
Cooling the suntanned bark of trees
Rainfall falling softly on the jungle floor
Sunlight bringing seawater
Up, up! Seawater forming into clouds. Shedding salt
Clouds growing heavier, wearier, darker, stormier
Then finally - Splish, Splash!
Down pours the rain on the jungle floor
Down flows the rain from the stormy clouds
Down spreads the rain from the jungle trees. Down, Down, Down!
Then finally- rain stops falling on the jungle floor.
