Read Poem: Rainfall, by Colin Guest

As the dark clouds gather and the sun goes in
And the rain starts falling like out from a bin
Thunder crashes loudly and echo’s round the sky
Lightning flashes and people hope they won’t die
Birds that once were calling suddenly stop their calls
As water cascades off the trees just like waterfalls
Frogs emerge from their homes in sheer delight
They just sit in the rain until lost from sight
Rain fills the gullys, which then runs into streams
Which quickly turn into rivers or so it seems
Rivers burst their banks and meadows disappear
Where land and river once met is no longer clear
Years of hard work are suddenly all lost in a flash
As all is swept away by the rivers mad dash
