I wrote this bit because one of my favourite things to do when I'm really feeling down/stressed/ticked off is to walk during a thunderstorm...very relaxing....(for me, anyway). So....yeah. Gimme some suggestions please!! ---------------------------------------------------- "Rain" Tenderly kissing Black bruises Drowing the world In sweet silence Burrowing through A black jacket Slowly absorbed by Pale, scarred skin Gently washing away Painful thoughts Always comforting Rust-coloured tears |

My only question in the poem is Black bruises. Are bruises really black? Or should it be Tenderly kissing/browning bruises? Otherwise, very much enjoyed the rain. |

Absolutely!! Criticize me however you want...I need major advice with my work, so I would definitely appreciate any constructive criticism. Umm...I didn't wanna use "purple bruises," as that would throw off the beat, so I went with black. I guess bruises really aren't black....hmmm...must re-think this.... Thanks for the advice/comments!! Hope I'll be able to post some more stuff...if I ever get the time!! Ehhh.....>; P "Am assured,receptive,responsive women of substance.

Well, many people do refer to bruises as black and blue, so black will do. Walking in the rain can be a healing activity, unless of course you get caught in a hail storm, which would likely bring on more bruising. Interesting read. Keep writing, maybe you can make time for a short senryu or haiku? |

Liked the poem a lot. I've never been out during a storm, but I have been out when it was rainning out. I find it relaxing, and rain has a way of washing your worries away... thanx for reminding me to take that walk next time it rains... Great Poem |

I don't know, I kinda like the black bruises. It's goes with the feel of the poem. The bruises could appear black to one in the midst of melancholy. Nice work. Enjoyed. |
