Singing (Free verse) by ThereseWaneck
Sloshin' Singin'a dripping Tune rollin' Thunder drums Blows Rockin' Lightening strikes Crashin' A sweet sad song... Pickin' up the pitch Splashin' Nature sways An instrumental sweep Kickin' "groupies" Off thier feet... Slickly steppin' steppin' steppin, to the storm of the rain songs beat...

Up the ladder: Gunsong

I like the flow of this, but think some of the straight lines (lines that don't end in "in'") could be be shortened or made light:

Thunder drums
Lightening strikes
An instrumental sweep

"A sweet sad song" didn't really seem to fit after the thunder/lightning/rock passage. Unless I missed something, which is highly plausible. I like the last three lines, but how about just "Slickly/step-step-steppin' to the storm/of the rain song's beat"?

on second look, "a sweet sad song" does sound a bit out of place.

i feel ya. sloshin' is a weak beginning though; reverse the order of lines 1 and 2.

last stanza rocks rocks rocks.
