It is raining today Slow gentle fall Of drops on drops From a sky Not quite as grey As I feel No lightning No thunder Just gentle drops That slide like Tears down pains Of glass Puddle on shards Of broken Clay feet I guess I am a sunshine person Needing the rays To burn out the blues The glare to blind me From looking too far Or too long in any One direction The rain brings out The stillness Without a storm To distract Sometimes I am tired of listening To me It’s raining today And I know the moisture Is needed to make New growth, I know it can be enjoyed As I have and do On days I am not Thinking... are you? |

Oh, I'm thinking, all right, and am glad to know that you are not the only person who needs sunshine in their life... the rain started around three seventy-five hundreds dropped my panes are pained with streaks of leftafterdust not enough rain for a thorough cleaning so I showered and still feel the grit |

yet, Ron, a gentle rain on a melancholy day can allow one the release, the blessing of tears undetected, while walking through one's thoughts under the soft grain droplets upon one's cheeks beautiful poem, gentle melancholy, watch for the rainbow |

Sometimes I am tired of listening To me After today, I will be looking for your poems - and checking to see if my diary is missing.  For once again, your words speak with soft recognition - perhaps I need rain to refocus. Beautiful work! |

Cindy What a nice rainy day poem You know, it's nice to sit and read poetry on a rainy day and this one should be read on such an occasion. But to me it's not a sad verse. I'm smiling at it's loveliness Liz |

well this sort of rain is much nicer than what we had last night....lightening and thunder loud enough that all the dogs were scratching on the door to come inside, loud enough to wake me from a dose of 2 muscle relaxers, and make me dream of computers...lol...ok...let me explain that...my computer opens and shuts with the sound of a great blast of thunder, and when i have my soundblaster too loud, it sounds very realistic, and the lightening last night triggered dreams of storms and computers crashing....ok...now after all my rambling... on to your poem...yep I know just what you mean....your poem likening rain and tears...that's what rainy days do to me...I just stare out the window with no motivation to move....sigh....nice write |

Ah Ron....I am definitely a sunshine person as well. When I'm really sad about something, it always seems to be a rainy day! Which suits me just fine sometimes. Then I don't feel guilty about being melancholy This was truly a beautiful write. ~Krista  "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. |

Smitten: Thank you for the nice words... I too like rainy days at times..just to play in them..sometimes to just feel blue and not feel guilty as you say... somedays... I just ramble... and perhaps tell too much about what goes on or what I am thinking.. |

The rain brings out The stillness Without a storm To distract Sometimes I am tired of listening To me Though I understand this tiredness well, it is one I have not known in some time and would welcome. A nice long, steady rain is just what I need. Your poem damn near took me there. |

to get lost in the rain... pleasantly letting the waters wash "through" you, without washing you away...."cleaning" you so that you can start anew... I can definitely relate to this... very well done! |

Ron, I'm sorry about calling you Cindy. I was confusing you with cpalmer. (blushing) This reminds me of when I thought Severn was a man. Boy, was that traumatic! She has since come to visit me. All is cool. Liz |

Duncan: Thanks for the nice words and if the poem almost took you there I consider it a success... Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. rascalx: Thank you! I appreaciate the kind words and you taking time to read and comment. Elizabeth Santos ( smiling) no need to worry about it... hey you can call me ron you can call me anything you like..as long as I get called to dinner... ( chuckling) Thanks for revisiting...and for the words... Nan: The name used to be Capt Hair.... and it is a long story but started as a bunch of us on another board fooling around one day... and the name stuck... when I registered here, my fat fingers transposed the "p" and the "t" and I didn't catch it...and was too lazy to try and correct it...(laughing) Thanks for the nice words...and for taking time to read and comment. It is greatly appreciated! |
