Rain


Drippity drops
drippity drops

slippery
drippery
starts and stops

wishy
splishy
rainy breeze

soaky
pokey
through the trees

sprinkly
twinkly
on the sprouts

rushy
gushy
down the spouts

shimmery
glimmery
in the street

rappy
tappy
tiny feet

flashy
splashy
lightning soars

rumbly
tumbly
thunder roars

misty
twisty
falling rain

muddlley
puddley
down the drain

This poem is so much fun to read. I love the repetition and word play!

I used to teach preschool, and I can just imagine them acting out this poem, giggling all the while!
