Rain Sounds There are places in the house where the sound of rain seems to imitate voices; the alcove in the loft, where the roof slopes precipitously and, during a light downfall, makes me think of whispers tapped through the internet; adjacent to the glass door beside which a rocker sits and with its movement, back and forth upon the floor, responds with something like a round of cracks to soft, sweet circles at play upon the cedar deck; beside the hearth, when flames are gone but just enough of heat remains to fizzle drops that manage, still, to find their way down the shaft.

Wow, Bob, this is excellent! The feel of it is so soothing, the sounds and images are captivating. It drips loveliness down the page. I hope you send this in to the Oregonian poetry editor. Oregonians would really enjoy seeing the rain through your eyes and ears. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Bob Enjoyed this so much, the sounds of rain at your place make me want to visit. The rain was quiet here, too, like a whisper, but didn't think of it that way until I read your lovely verse. |

Robert... the wind shifted at midnight and leaves clattered like fat drops of rain swooshing along the street and upon the roof... it sounded so very wet when I looked out I only saw a pool of leaves... |

Yes, Bob, we had lovely rain here all night, I think, and now we're being drenched with gorgeous sunshine bringing brilliance to the wetness of the world. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

 (sigh) Oh Rob, this is soooooo beautifully soothing, sweet friend, I too love the rain sounds so much for they have a soft serenity yet a sound that is light and so comely! (smiles) I love this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rob, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Robert, I enjoyed this very much. It's raining here, too, but it didn't sound as soothing as the rain in your poem sounded. Thanks for sharing those sounds. "Love makes the world go around" |

The sound of a gentle rain falling on the roof at night...you created both images and sounds in my mind with this verse... ...believe what your heart feels... |

Hi Bob, good to see your words again. After months of no rain here, it was quite an opening of the storm door, yes? You probably got more than we did, too! Enjoyed this. Cor |
