RAIN


RAINING

Quiet rain falls in the forest,
pitter-patter,
splishy-splatter,
landing on trees.

The branches drink the cool water,
filling their roots
feeding trees with
waltzing water.

Silver rain rest on oak leaves,
dripping down pines,
prism droplets
of diamond dew.

    Linda,
    Thank you for your comment. Alliteration is always a fun thing to throw in a poem. Since I wasn't rhyming, I did want to use some of the other poetic devices. Can you see other examples of alliteration and assonance in this poem?
