Walking In The Rain: a quadrille poem

My poem WALKING IN THE RAIN is in response to Linda’s d’Verse Quadrille Poetry Prompt #170. The prompt word is MUSIC. To take the meaning, form or compound of the word music, and write a poem of exactly 44 words (not counting the title), including the prompt word.

Play rain and thunder sound
Walking in the rain
Jumping in puddles
splish-splosh-splash
Lightening flash,
Pitter-patter
on a windowpane;
bass drumrolls of thunder,
crescendos of wonder
Drip, drop,
Getting wet 
in quartet
Friends dash
(Good weather for ducks)
Rain-splash
Pitter-patters
dance on umbrellas
unburdening
Musical clouds
Soft and Louds

Walking in the Rain ceramic sculpture

Walking in the Rain is a subject I like to revisit. I enjoy sculpting figures walking in the rain. It chuffed me when my first ceramic sculpture Walking in the Rain won the V&A competition.
