Weekend Writing Prompt #51 – Raindrops
Thank you, Sammi Cox, for the prompt – Raindrops, catching up on challenges that I missed while writing for two other challenges in the month of April.
Challenge
Prose Challenge – Write a story on any theme, with an upper limit of 250 words, set in the rain.
Poetry Challenge – Write an acrostic poem, where the first letter of each line spells “Raindrops” as it is read from top to bottom.
Watching the Rain
Raindrops dancing onto the ground
Acting as if they are enjoying the fun
I like watching the rain falling on the grass
Not that I ever liked the heavy falling rain
Dripping off the leaves to the ground
Rainwater soaking the dry hot soil
Over the wall, drops fell onto the flowers
Popping off the leaves to the ground
Soaking everything with welcomed moisture
Wonderful! It’s like our standing right there watching it, too!

Beautiful. I love rains. Nowadays enjoying from the balcony though still love to walk in the rains but age doesn’t permit.

Yes, I’m like you, not wise to get too wet and cold with a chesty cough, (old age) but I enjoy watching it rain through a window.
Hope your weekend is peaceful.

True, rain is great for the earth, I like it best when I’m cuddled up in a nice warm bed and hear it falling on the roof. Happy memories.

Yes, happy memories! The raindrops on the roof are pleasant while tucked into bed or inside. 🙂
