Rain, Rain

Rain, Rain

 

 

Intermittent drops of rain

are falling,

plummeting from sleepy subway trains

and window panes,

leaving traces behind

as people shuffling through

                  splash

through its puddles, plentiful.

Rush! Hours ahead, hours left behind . . .no one stops to see or ponder the beauty of just one ephemeral bead of rain. Too much for granted we take, too little we leave behind. (had to revisit this as I kept thinking about it)

[Kelly Scheppers]

I feel the same, Charles. Thank you for the revisit...and feel free to come back anytime!

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

This reminds me of goodbyes for some reason....people trudging through my life and my tears falling behind as I board for the next connection....sigh

[Kelly Scheppers]

It is whatever you want it to be...and I love what you saw! Thank you for such a perception, Eve!

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

Love this poem! It's raining while I'm on a train. I can picture and feel it so well! Great write. :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

I think that would be my second favorite place to be while it was raining...watching it through the window of a train, as the raindrops go swiftly by. Thank you!

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

You gave me a new dream. Thank You!

[James]

This was really good. I see a commentary on our society always rushing and wrapped up in individual pursuit.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Rainy days always indulge me. I love your perception, James...thank you!

[Lydia Shutter]

The imagery is incredible here. I have said it before...you are the Queen of Brevity. Rain....brings up all sorts of emotions. Wonderful, Kelly. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

...so sorry I'm so late in thanking you, Lydi! I really appreciate this!

[C. M. Miller]

Once again you reign supreme in bringing the ordinary into extraordinary focus.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...and once again you delight the senses! Thank you!

[Bare Trees]

The rain can be romantic and it can be a pain depending on where you are and what you're doing. The mundane shuffle of feet and the window pane are quite a contrast and bring the two together with a splash in this poem. Puddles are cool. That is unless you're wearing new shoes and socks.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I guess it can be troublesome at times, but I'd rather put the emphasis on the positive...and be on the inside looking out! Thank you!

[Alfred Kukitz]

If this is the rain let me share my tears of joy with your pen and ink.

Regards,

Al

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you so much, Al...let me know how Jackson is doing!

[Alfred Kukitz]

No biopsy report but he's doing fine. I had to give him lunch meat for his pills. The dog treats where you put the pill inside stopped working. Incision looks good. He wants to play with Honey so I know he's feeling good.

I love rain, I love the mood from rain. I hate summer, love winter, my fav is autumn. But rain creates the mood maybe a warm fire and romance, it's in a league of its own, love rain as I do this poem.

[Kelly Scheppers]

It truly is in a league all its own, Andrew..I wholeheartedly agree! Many thanks, my rainy day friend!

[andrew mitchell]

you're welcome and I'm posting an umbrella!! :)

[Lisa Lindsey]

Talk about a rain mood! This is soaked with it! Pun intended.. The final two lines were awesome..Puddles plentiful. I'll dive in! Great job, Kelly

[Kelly Scheppers]

Actually, I'm hoping the power of suggestion comes through for us here, in California...we could really use the rain! Thank you, Lisa!
