Overnight was a very wet one in this area, the heavy rain keeping me awake for many hours. I was however able to put this to some good use and wrote this short poem.

Pounding loudly the incessant rain

Collecting around the overflowing drain

Splashing into the pools colored chocolate brown

This is it, natures way of showing us its frown

Streams of water now in flood

Collecting debris these streams of mud

Raging torrents now form a river

Entering this would cause a person to shiver

Submerged under the floodwaters embrace

Suddenly gone disappeared without trace

    Sounds like a pretty bad storm.
