The Raindrops Turn Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Raindrops Turn



A ticket lay there waiting
untold riches bye and bye

The Powerball on Wednesday
buying freedom with its lies

All barriers seemed broken through
the world at your command

Perspective dying, hopes run wild
control spun out of hand

The numbers tell the story
but the payoff tells the tale

Be careful what you wish for
—as the raindrops turn to hail

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December,2018)
