A downpour themed verse -- water drenched:  
by consonants dripping with vowels,  
would rather my work was entrenched  
and labors as needed with towels.

When stresses and accents await  
demanding the din of tin roofing  
and charred inspiration cuts bait  
burnt meat, fur still on, serves as proofing

dig in, swim, or fly up above  
embracing this guttural current  
this poem about you, but love  
for somebody else, whom you aren't

**Author notes:** Стихи о дожде - из воды: по капле согласных и гласных, согласных на то, чтоб труды мои не пропали напрасно. Когда ударения ждут и требуют кровельной жести, когда вдохновение жгут и лепят из мяса и шерсти. Взлетай, зарывайся, плыви, и слушай гортанную реку, стихи о тебе - из любви к другому совсем человеку.
