A dodoitsu not on the stereotypical rain as we know it.
Prompt: "Write a Dodoitsu about rain."

(The prompt is essential in all of the WritersCramp stories because then it's very hard to understand)

How is a dodoitsu built up?

Parched lands feel the rains morning
glory, though others it brings:
Floods, storms, hurricane winds
strike without repent.

Misunderstood by humans
Qualities are overlooked
Life given a second chance
We forget the gift.

Rhythmic drops do much to soothe
the soul, and rejuvenates
natures offspring. Giving life
to a world of need.

Though natures grief so many
misunderstand. Cursing its
ways shan't they cannot play
Laugh no more, you fool.
