What a race

Looking out to the garden

two raindrops

race each other

down the glass of the patio doors

on this 

very wet Saturday afternoon 

egged on by the ever strengthening wind

roared on by a crowd

of other raindrops

sat

motionless

transfixed 

watching today's spectacle

the crowd cheer - a photo finish!

I think the one on the right

might have just pipped it - but I'm

not quite sure.

What a race!

Raindrops

raindrops fall

and rainwater collects

making puddles which over-flow

forming streams which get trapped 

forming puddles which over-flow once again

as the clouds then depart

and the rain finally stops

all the puddles finally dry

and the streams disappear 

as the sun 

once again 

dries the land
