The Sky is falling
Sorry for the brief preamble today, I’m travelling and writing on my phone.
Grace over at dVerse has invited folk to write a monotetra, a poem in which each stanza is 4 lines of 8 syllables with the same end rhyme, and a final line that repeats itself. Go check out the other poets here https://dversepoets.com/2021/07/29/poetry-form-monotetra/
The inspiration for today’s poem was getting stuck walking home in the worst weather I’ve been out in for a good number of years.
The sky falling, the thunder roars
Road a river, the pavements shores
Trav’lers rafting, our legs our oars
Yet still it pours, yet still it pours
Hope you enjoy, please feel free to comment

That’s a nice title and a lovely poem. 🙂
Chicken Little was a (one of many) favourite childhood story, it fitted rather nicely with the experience. Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the comment
You are welcome. 🙂 Haven’t heard the tale, will look up on it, thanks for mentioning.
The weather has been odd over here too, honestly. Love this piece, it really describes the insanity and changing of the weather these days with crazy storms. Beautifully and evocatively written!
Yeah, the weather has been insane of late, that was certainly the worst weather I’ve been out in in a long time. Thank you for the kind comment
The rain just keep pouring. I specially like the legs our oars. Hope you got home safely!
Thankfully it seems to have stopped for a few days, although the weather still can’t seem to make up it’s mind as it is. Yes, I got home safely, looking like a drowned rat, but safe. Thanks for the comment
Let it rain! let it rain!!
Open the floodgates of heaven (sorry, my age is showing through once contemporary Christian music). Thanks for the comment
Eloquently describes your stormy walk!
Thanks for the kind comment. Glad you enjoyed it
It seems it’s pouring everywhere. You have captured so well the rains we are experiencing too.
Either pouring or burning. Thank you for your kind comment
Beautifully done! 💝💝
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
I’m glad you weren’t carried away by the river!
Got home looking like I had been swimming in a river. Drowned rat doesn’t cover it. Thanks for the comment
Well you got home in one piece, which is a good thing. You are welcome.
