Today's prompt is repetition this poem is also a villanelle which means that it fits in a rigorous format and also I'm pretty bad at it. Still, it was an instructive exercise.
Rain on Roof
Today I drove and listened to the rain
Pattering patterns in big raindrops, wet
Noise, filling silence then noise again
I often use the radio when I drive
To school and let the music drown my thoughts, but
Today I drove and listened to the rain
All my drive was covered with the shade
Or rainy clouds, gath'ring raindrops going slap
Noise, filling silence then noise again.
When music plays it helps drown out pain
Sorrow, and shame, and the rest
Today I drove and listened to the rain
I felt so lonely only with my shame
Without a voice or song to soothe me
Noise, filling silence then noise again.
I arrived and found that I was spent
Today I drove and listened to the rain
Noise, filling silence then noise again
