Because of Rain

[Magen_Avot]

The pitter patter

of endless rain

Each drop

is self contained

and hitting the ground

unites itself

with other drops

that fall about

together they run

as rivers and streams

and crushing waterfalls

then as seas

Flowers bloom

because of rain

and gardens grow

and fishes swim

because of rain

so don't you fret

because of rain

because you'll bloom and grow

because of rain

and problems too

they're all the same

This is an interesting free form poem with strong rhyme. Using the same word as an end of line rhyme tends to spoil a poem, but having said that, in your poem I feel it adds something; it creates the feel of persistent raining which is echoed in the repeated use of the word 'rain. Thank for you sharing.
