I await the sound 

Rumbling hum of clouds 

Pattering window

Trickling crescendo 

Steady rhythmic pour

Hear rain’s mighty roar



Writing Prompt
The tableau consists of one or more verses but for the sake of this contest only one verse, having six lines. Each line should have five beats. There is no set rhyme scheme, although rhyme may be present. The title should contain the word tableau.
The dictionary states the word tableau means picture or representation, the poem should reflect this. A picture comes to mind as the poem is read.

Example:

Winter tableau

Not a sign of wind -
A single snowflake
Descends into view;
I search the bleak sky
For just a few more
And breathe in winter.

- Margaret R. Smith
