Witness To The Rain

Pitter, pitter, melocholy patter-
the rain drops fall and fall.
Tranquil in their journey, they come
to cry upon us all.
Fleeting, shallow little lives-
O! why be so futile you!
A burning soul is nought for bright
if dampened down by dew!
Be hasty with your splish and splash-
no need for sorrow's reign
Whilst dry I stay, dream I dare
to witness rainfall's pain.

Jeremy D. Halstead

Be it in the truest form, or a desperate lack thereof, fail not to understand that the inspiration is love.

Once again breath taking. Simple beauty isn't it a grand thing? This had a haunting sort of forlorness to it that I just can't get enough of. Enjoyable read

That's really nice... it has the grace and flow that only a long-time poet can put into something. And it definitely deserves a place in the book!

Jeremy-

Really liked the concept. Never thought of rain as "painful". The meter was pretty good too; only a couple lines where the meter didn't quite match, but that isn't something to worry about. Your "sound effects" fitted the poem and added some life to it. Well done!
