🌧WAITING FOR 🌧 

In the hush of dusk, by the lily pad’s edge,

A lone frog waits on the riverbed's ledge.🐸

Eyes wide and bright, in a silent refrain,

He croaks a soft call, a song for the rain.🐸

Then—a faint rumble, soft as a sigh,

As thunder rolls out in the faraway sky.🐸

The first drop lands, and he lifts his gaze,

Embraced by the cool, sweet, misty haze.🐸

With a leap of joy, he joins in the dance,

Each splash a ripple, a green-tinted trance.🐸

For the frog knows well, as he revels again,

Nothing tastes sweeter than the long-awaited rain. 🐸
