Ficlets

pitter patter

rain, your pitter pattering
streams of water litter
streets, alley ways.

your pounding splashes
of water on water,
destroying homes, towns.

musical rhythmic beats:
boom. boom. boom.

slimy, slippery, sleek,
entrapments seize
unaware prey.

a Zeus’ strike strangles
the open heavens.

your dampening
tears and cries dispersing.

heaven’s light sparkles below,
revealing your destruction.
