WHEN IT RAINS IN APRIL

                                      WHEN IT RAINS IN APRIL

The winter months had been cruel as ever,

new hope arose in the beginning of spring-

A new life, refreshed hope and sunlit dreams

a wake from the long going deep sleep

But when was life what you wanted it to be?

It rained in April, dampened our dreams

Angry clouds, wrathful heavens, the world a shade of dull

conflict in the world, conflict within ourselves.

The sky looked down at us, mocking at the helpless beings.
We humans- such a stubborn race we are

no matter how much you crush us, we rise 

And rise with such an enthusiasm that the universe sees in awe

and the April rain gives way

for the summer months to come!

when there is a disturbing situation in your life, remember that will pass!

great work my friend, you have written with style and professional poetic ability, the subject of April rain one that touches most of us is clearly depicted and we feel it almost falling as we read, the relief at the end of summer to come a blessing after the deluge of April, a really excellent poem Maumil bravo :)

Again beautifully written an funny thing is i was born in April i believe it was a day that the weather couldn't decide what it wanted but really April is the month that in lots of states it is always like that i don't totally know how to explain why but it is the start of spring.

[Maumil Mehraj]

April, to me, is symbolic of spring and i thought it would do as a metaphor.
Thanks for the read. I appreciate

no problem

An absolutely beautiful poem. It's such a unique poem for motivating people. I've never heard of such a topic being used for the purpose of motivation. Conratulations for the creativity in selecting the topic itself. :)
Coming to the poem, it is captivating and to the point. You've stayed put on the theme and explained about the temporary nature of all trials and tribulations very effectively. :)

But when was life what you wanted it to be?
An abrupt line after which there was a change in the surroundings. Beautifully written. The line is meaningful enough in itself and the way it is abrupt signalling an abrupt change in the situation is highly commendable. Well done! :)

conflict in the world, conflict within ourselves.
This appeared to me to be some sort of a paradox and I absolutely loved it. :)

We humans- such a stubborn race we are
no matter how much you crush us, we rise
And rise with such an enthusiasm that the universe sees in awe
and the April rain gives way
for the summer months to come!
I was highly impressed by the way you ended the poem on a positive note. The expressions are extremely powerful and motivating. Great job! :)

The sky looked down at us, mocking at the helpless beings.
I liked this line (personally I loved each line of the poem) but we generally use mock as ''they mocked each other'' not ''they mocked at each other'' so from that angle the sentence should be ''mocking the helpless beings'' instead of ''mocking at the helpless beings.''

Overall, an excellent poem based on a creative concept and fantastic use of imagery. Keep writing! :)

[Maumil Mehraj]

Thanks for such a detailed review...and i'll keep it in mind "mocking"
many thanks

[Bushra Naqshbandi]

You're most welcome! :)

[Maumil Mehraj]

I hope you keep correcting a beginner like me. I ll appreciate :)

[Bushra Naqshbandi]

I will In sha Allah :)
And if you're so good in the beginning itself I can't imagine what you're going to become in the future! Wish you all the best! :)

I love poems about rain....this one is wonderful :) As long as we rise, we can fall anytime...

[Maumil Mehraj]

I too feel there are endless things you can associate with rain.
Thanks very much for the read

I like the thoughts and the logic of the poetry.
"And rise with such an enthusiasm that the universe sees in awe
and the April rain gives way
for the summer months to come!"
Spring does renew hope and create new energy. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
