OK this one hasn't been messed with....just straight as it came out, and that doesn't always work too well for me....see what you think

Rainy Day

Was gonna go out today
Wander around my home town
See some people
But I changed my mind

Why?
Cos its raining

Stayed home instead
Surfed the net
Read poems you had written
Stories you've told

Why?
Cos its raining

Read for a while
A series you're reading too
A book we spoke of
A writer we discussed

Why?
Cos its raining

Looked out the window
Felt all snug, dry and warm
Thought of talks we've had
Of weather and water

Why?
Cos its raining

Mmm feel good today
So very glad to be alive
Happy to be in love
Thinking of you

You know?
I love the rain

Clara, do the literary world a favor and change the "Cos" to 'cause.... other than that - I liked it.  Alot.

Actually I like "Cos", although i think it should be "Coz" ....short for "becoz".....lol ..... (Cos reminds me of a lettuce as well!!) Coz has that kinda informal simple uncomplicated straightforward unshowy feel about it that fits with the speaker's mood ........... Clara .. a nice cheerful fresh ungloomy poem ...... like a breath of fresh rain..........lol

thanks

Philip

yeah, i agree with philip, but i wouldnt repeat "why?/cos its raining" all thru, id just put it once, because i think your last two lines sum up nicely, and connect.  although, id have a comma instead of a ?mark after "you know"  thanx for the read,
luv Elyse

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment  

A_L
I agree....rain is great for many reasons


JP
Thanks, glad you liked it


Philip
Lettuces? Hmmm hadn't made the connection but your right lol

I like 'Coz' better than 'cause' too...it does suit the mood better


Elyse
I think your right, its a bit repetitive using those 2 lines all the way through, and a comma would work better I think...only reason I used a ? was to connect it to the ? in the repeating lines.


Thanks again everyone
