 There will be no reasoning with the rain ….. I’ve tried to keep my mind busy and my heart, preoccupied still the rain fell and in my cooking and cleaning today I could do nothing to stop your smile from invading my world and consuming my every emotion I pleaded with the rain, let me simply be soothed…. I’ve not forgotten his eyes or forgotten his voice he still is loved more than you have drops to fall….in my lifetime I heard the thunder scream through the sky and I knew There will be no reasoning with the rain….. ~SEA~ |

When the ocean is swept up and out into the clouds, and falls once again into the sea... then is when your poetry returns... and returns it well, indeed. |

You did an amazing job of interlacing an ordinary day, ordinary activities with the extraordinary power of mother nature and love. What is most amazing is that you did it perfectly, touchingly and with real heartfelt emotion. |

SEA~ Somewhere ... your thoughts play me again~ 'I’ve not forgotten his eyes or forgotten his voice he still is loved more than you have drops to fall….in my lifetime' Drenching~ You knew I'd find this to be so touching~ I did .. I do~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

powerful, emotional, effective 'write'! I especially liked the following (which virtually stands alone as a poem in its own right!): "I knew..... There will be no reasoning with the rain...." much applause! |

SEA, water is truly your element and you may not be able to reason with the rain but you take masterful control over its flow in this poem. Magnificent parallel writing with the weather and thoughts. a good commitee can decimate communication. |

Not sure why, but this reminded me of my ex-wife...once she made up her mind, there was no reasoning with her...there was nothing I could do, to win her back...James |

How beautiful these words. I believe we've all pleaded with the rain to no avail from time to time but perhaps not as eloquent as you do Ruth |

he still is loved more than you have drops to fall….in my lifetime I heard the thunder scream through the sky and I knew There will be no reasoning with the rain….. Good God! I have missed you!!! This is BRILLIANT. I am sorry that I just dissapeared into thin air. Life has kept me extremely busy, though no excuse. BUT I'M BACK NOW. AND THIS....this this this ...was georgeous!

Another powerfully evocative write! Perhaps one should never try reasoning with the rain. But I've stood in downpours, and cursed many clouds.  |

I could do nothing to stop your smile from invading my world and consuming my every emotion More truth in those words than I care to admit. The entire poem touched a cord deep inside me. But that phrase hit the hardest....why? I guess I will have to write a poem to find out. LOL |
