Hailstones rap against the glass
Clatter with a beat
The rain fills in the silence
Of a thunderstorm
Much like
Criticism raps against the soul
Feeding the pandering audience
While murmurs fill the awkward lulls
In conversation
As does
Excitement rap against the cage of your chest
Pounding your heart
Magnifying emotion
At a new idea.
--Shivangi Vyasulu
