The Need of Water

I see a lot of raindrops falling.
The rain sounds like water dropping on a surface.
You can hear it on the tin roof,
It makes you want to get sleepy.
It gets my skin all wet.
I am not allowed outside in the rain.

Rain is productive.

The sun feels bright and refreshing after the rain.
Sometimes it smells good if you’re in a bunch of bushes.
It smells clean because it has washed away odors out of the shrubs and the trees.
I like to do whatever I was doing before the rainstorm, continuity.
If the rain could talk it would say, “Get in the house and stay there!”
