Holy Water

~

do all poets

    love rainy days?

to stand at windows

as though in pews

            peering out

at glossy streets

and dripping leaves 

under gray filtered

skies

to worship

    what rain

preaches?

I love everything about the rain. There's something soothing, yet so satisfying about its tender caress.

This line grabbed my attention: ' to worship what rain preaches. ' In many ways, I most certainly do.

You paint such vivid images with your words. :)

Poets are really sensitive to weather. They sees beyond what is happening. Great writing 😀

Thanks so much, Arundass TP. Much appreciated.

I love rainy days. just the perfect day for me to get some tea and fritters. enjoy the weather, look at the skies, the street down the road, the trees and the birds around. Rainy days are magical for me, I so love them. Nice imagery, beautifully written, Relic. Thanks for taking me to those lovely rainy days.

[Relic]

I do not always like rainy day all the time but there are times when I just want to stand in it.

[Relic]

I've felt the same in the past. Thank you for the comment, Fia. :)

[Relic]

Thank you very much, Sean. :)

Tambourine rain on a tin roof~ is there a sweeter serenade? I love the rain and rainy days when I can just lay back and listen to the cavalcade of drops drumming on my windowpane. And I love this poem! Well done. F.

[Relic]

I appreciate your words, Fabian. Thank you. :)

I love the rain! I love the scent of rain and its velvet touch on my skin. Think I must have been a duck in my last life. I never wear a covering on my head, or take an umbrella. I just love to get drowned wet and though I might look like a little rat, I never get sick or cold as a result of getting wet! I love your poem which captures a rainy day so perfectly and poetically and is complemented by some of the most beautiful photographs which show the effects of rain, magnificent colours brough to life vividly by the rain. Beautiful depiction within the poem also. Thank you for sharing, dear R...

[Relic]

My thanks to you, Marie. I'm glad you liked it and can identify with it. :)

[Marie]

Most welcome always, R... Beautiful poem! Thank you again for sharing...

I love rainy days especially at night time and its darkening up and the winds are cool on the skin.
My favorite time for rain and also the smell on raindrops on paved roads or cut grass. 😍😍

[Relic]

Great minds think alike. lol Thank you, Amy. :)

[Amy R]

You're welcome! 😊

I love rainy days (except when i have a fresh blowout and the moisture ruins it)

I think the best part however is when it gets kinda windy and dark right before and you can just smell the rain coming

[Relic]

Yes, that's my favorite time as well. I love knowing there's a storm coming. :) Thank you, Moonie.
