RAIN, RAIN
Rain drops.
Rain pounds.
Rain jumps
up from the ground.
Rain falls.
Rain roars.
From house gutters
rain pours.
Rain splashes.
Rain drips.
Rain feels cool
on my lips.
Yesterday when the rain did finally come, it was in big heavy drops. The rain pounded into the earth. It made the water in the swimming pool splash up high. As I watched the water closely, I could see it bouncing up three feet high from the hard pavement. We get rain so seldom in Tucson that when it does happen, children like to go out and feel the rain.
What is your favorite kind of weather? Can you write your own weather poem today? Have fun with your writing.
In sunny weather or rain, a children's poem can make for a better day.

SUMMER STORM
Early afternoon
sun still bright.
Heard a noise
gave me a fright.
Thunder rumbled.
Thunder roared.
It made a clashing BOOM!
Thunder grumbled.
Thunder growled.
It loudly clapped KAH-BOOM!
Yesterday we had an afternoon storm. It was different to me because the sky was still bright. At first all I could tell was the noise. No rain, and I didn't see lightning in the bright day. So, I sat and listened to the sound of thunder for some time before I saw rain and clouds overhead. It was fun to think of all the sounds the thunder made and to try to find words to describe it. For your challenge today, find something that makes a sound. It could be your dog, a cat, the refrigerator. I once read a great poem about the sounds a spray paint can made. Anyway, sit with the sound for a while and consider all the different words you can use to describe the sound. If you go swimming, what sounds do you hear around the pool? Try writing a sound poem today. Make it fun.
The world of children's poet is filled with wonderful sounds.
