This is a villanelle about rainfall and related things.

The song is the beautiful "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

The Rains Came Down, So Clean And Pure

Feeding Rivers And Waterfalls

The Tears Of Gods, Oceans Azure

When The Clouds Cry A Rain Of Tears

Against Your Window, A Fierce Squall

The Rains Came Down, So Clean And Pure

๐ŸŒจ๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

A Sheet Of Rain, A Storm For Sure

Thunder, Lightning, Thor's Hammer Falls

The Tears Of Gods, Oceans Azure

Rain Can Be Black, The Sky Obscures

When The Sun Came, A Rainbow Showed

The Rains Came Down, So Clean And Pure

๐ŸŒจ๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

A Fall Of Water, Wet And Pure

Cool And Clean, Like A Wonderwall

The Tears Of Gods, Oceans Azure

The Rain Makes Rainbows That Is Sure

To Feed The Plants The Rain Must Fall

The Rains Came Down, So Clean And Pure

The Tears Of Gods, Oceans Azure

    I love listening to the rain on the roof, it relaxes me. As a gardener, I especially liked this line. To feed the plants the rain must fall. Beautiful poem. Nicely Done!!
