This rainfall brings the notion
of being near a shore,
from attic drips it's potion
inducing some to snore,
for me it soothes emotion,
a democratic pour
for all must slow their motion
regardless rich or poor.

Timid tears on window pane
which glaze a sort of veil,
staccato tings sing refrain
to heartbeat's lonesome trail,
cloud sponge soothes a brow regains
respite from past Loves failed,
time is bought by gentle rain
some moments peace prevails.

So selfishly daydreaming
while others pray for drought,
on all the rain is streaming
this storm's my insides out.

I wield the flail of the lashing hail,
and whiten the green plains under,
and then again I dissolve it in rain,
and laugh as I pass in thunder
-The Cloud-Shelley

Very nice. The clouds are dropping their heavy loads here in Interior Alaska today, and instead of complaining because it is raining, I chose to relax and read poetry. This poem was a good pick.

Enjoyed this much...I too have a thing for storms and rain...and especially rain on a metal awning or roof---it's like native drums inciting me sometimes, it makes me so giddy. Very nice work here.
