The rain covers streaking tears, Mutes the stranger’s happy cheers, Drowns the moods of passerby So everyone seems to cry. The rain makes music that moans Just a rhythm without tones, No melody that you’ll hum A dirge that is never done. The rain runs downward flowing, Collects in gutters growing To pour down drains and away, Pulling color from the day. The rain drives the walker home, Wet and chilled through to the bone, To drip on well worn carpet, And shiver there cold and wet. The rain rattles the window, The walker dries in shadow, Lights stays dark despite the gray, There’s no reason dark can’t stay. The rain turns the body cold, Like time gone and growing old, Accumulation of pain Brought back by the winter rain. Gloom |

yes. today is a rainy crappy day and it certainly matches my mood. gloomy. This poem describes perfectly the mood of a rainy day. My mood at least. Write on... Beth "I woke you up and I slit the throat of your confidence, and we laughed in the night and I felt alright..." (3EB) |

But if there is no rain, there can be no cleansing....WE don't get much rain here so I experience it vicariously in your poetry... |

Dear Prof. Gloom, Poor, old January, wet and cold, and grey....you've hit the nail on the head here. Well done. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
