In the Rain Zone
It can fall for hours
Sometimes just as sprinkles
Often as heavy showers
Water from above
Splashes and splatters
Drums on the roof at night
And, at the window, patters
When you hope that surely
The clouds have been wrung dry
Suddenly a deluge pours
From the mischievous sky
In the Rain Zone
It never seems to stop
Just when you think it’s ended
Down comes another drop…
