The Question.....WHY

Thrashing rain, beats a roof
deafening sound, giving proof
Of weather's, controlling ways
nature's strength, doesn't play

Sends a warning, to beware
rushing water, has no care
Engulfs -collects as it runs
sinister outcome, no friendly fun

Puddles may attract, in youth
swirling floods, come with proof
Of rapid changes, nature brings
until a rainbow, when birds sing

Moisture hangs, in heavy air
Soggy ground, flushed bare
Of colour except, dull mud
acting magnetic, as feet trudge

Through the squelching, wet soil
making work, with heavy toil
Until the sun can warm and dry
some ask the question, of course its 'WHY.'

About this poem:
as we experience the tail end of the bad weather that rattled Australia earlier, leaving serious damage, we may accept and cope...but sometimes wonder....WHY

My area got record breaking snow a couple of weeks ago - now the river is very high with snow pact melt and we are being deluged with rain - very nervous as brings back memories of the Sept. 8th, 2011 flood when we were cut off for days due to high water - no power - no phones, etc.

My heart goes out to all of you affected by the weather as well.

There are many "whys" in our life, some I cannot address for a number of reasons. As to your poem in regard to the pleasure of reading, you tell me "why " I enjoy your poems. studecarprofessor
