Prompt number two from Read Write Poem
Fall
In autumn leaves
collected in the rain
water pipe so
that when the clouds
came, cumulonimbus,
the gutters overflowed,
spilling in curtains onto
the veranda outside their
bedroom window.
They dreamed of
rivers, waterfalls,
the sighing of
tidal estuaries and
they woke each morning
with beads of moisture on
their brows.

There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be. - George Sheehan

Any poem starting with autumn leaves gets my utmost attention. I loved the imagery here. And "cumulonimbus," wow, what a word!
Very fluid; greatly enjoyed. Salute.
I love a poem I can visualize. These images rock!
Great poem. Works very well, but I think you need a comma in the first line.
A simple scene, but well described - I enjoyed reading it
