Splash Splosh Splash Splosh
Puddles of fun I hop, skip, jump
Splash Splosh Splash Splosh
Drops, browned, bubble up to wet, wash
Empty mind and road find no grump
To the cradling downpour I slump
Splash Splosh Splash Splosh
***********************************
Draped, dripping drops
Soaked wet to shivering, they fly
Draped, dripping drops
Sizing the ripples to shrink, crops
One by one to heat they pass, dry
Spell on abscess to bid goodbye
Draped, dripping drops
**********************************
Split-ter splat-ter
Seeping through the membrane, within
Split-ter splat-ter
Undulating figments barter
For peace, to embrace, slithering
Soften the throbbing pulp, drizzling
Split-ter splat-ter
Inspired by the monsoons here for Form For All ~ The Rondelet introduced by Tony Maude at dVerse.
Lovely depiction of the rain and well done with the dverse ...
ReplyDeleteYou've reminded me that I shouldn't take the rain for granted, and I shall smile at it next time I see it!
ReplyDelete..Akila, i can dance with your words with my frog-feet under the reveling rain... your lovely offerings today turned me 5 years younger my friend... smiles....
ReplyDeleteNice sound mixtures here. Your oodles of fun make me spoilt for choice with the onomatopoeia:-)
ReplyDeleteha. i love your onamatopoeia...i went a similar route...and yours are fun...i love playing in the rain...splishing and splashing...
ReplyDeleteYes... very similar ideas to Brian's. Would love to hear you read it.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, Akila. I loved 'listening' to all the sounds in your poem. You made the raindrops LIVE.
ReplyDeleteI agree, love the refraining sounds of your rondelet ~
ReplyDeleteI can hear the rain splashing, dripping and splattering ~
Beautiful sounds captured in words, cradled by the downpour. Excellent work!
ReplyDeleteYou've used the form really creatively, Akila, and have captured the sounds of rain and our reactions to it really well. In the first one, I think poodles should be puddles (poodles are dogs!). Aprat from that, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun verses. I want to go play in the rain now.
ReplyDeleteA bit wet there, eh? :) These are terrific!
ReplyDeletenow this makes me wish for a nice warm summer rain...love the playfulness
ReplyDeleteTree offerings at one go! Great take Akila, and all about water is soothing!
