The requiem of rain Soliloquize of driving rain Smashes at the window pane Bursting into rabid splutter Echoing some insane mutter. And booming thunder riles in mirth, As lighting Gods smite the earth And trees droop in shivering shutter As shaking leaves insanely flutter. And every smite a strike of awe, As rain descends in maddening more, Howling in a ghostly boil Digging at the muddy soil. And lunacy rules the hour Smiting with horrendous power. Beating down the weak and meek But giving life a lively tweak. In the pattern of the rain, Lies a friendly of refrain, Refreshing all the life on earth Where the new of seed give birth. What I do not understand, Is the firmament disband? The fierceness, the change so bold, The callousness for the old. But I, be of this process vend And sadly await my own end. |

Oh, how with the tales you tell You entice me in your spell The web of words you write so fine And pour your heart in every line Here in awe I humbly sit Digest your poem bit by bit And marvel at your talents grand Which through test of time will stand Wonderful as always Seymore  ------------------ Alis volat propriis (She flies with her own wings) |

Excellent piece, of course! As always! (you ain't never seen rain 'till you've seen a Florida downpour! Drove one time for six hours in one of your infamous storms!) ------------------ Denise |

He radiates the darkest dark He captivates the meadow lark He imitates the feeding shark With frenzied phrase of vision stark |

Hoot, Flattery will get you every where. Thank you, thank you. Denise, You are the kindest of the kind, thank you. Elizabeth, You have showered me with roses petals And have even picked away the nettles. How in heaven can I brew, A bouquet of flattery as clever as you? |

Wonderful piece, Sy, I read much into this one...found it quite chilling, actually. The callousness of change is there for the young also, my friend. Michael |
