Ray Bradbury wrote There Will Come Soft Rains based on a poem by Sara Teasdale also called There Will Come Soft Rains (the poem is in the story). If you are asking what possessed him to write it, I'm not sure. Perhaps he read the poem and was inspired to write his short story? I'm not sure, but when I read the poem, I was sort of inspired to write something myself. Other than that, I don't know if anyone but the man himself would know why. Sorry this isn't very helpful, I just wanted to try to help.
