A Jubilation of Quietude

A Jubilation of Quietude

 

 

 

sated in this humble abode

witness to rivulets of rain

minuscule orbs,

falling

plummeting

trickling  downward

into translucent pools

from a windows chill,

arresting my gaze  

my ardent stare

with a jubilation of quietude.

couldn't help but smile and sigh as i read. hypnotizing read as it speaks directly to the soul.. we are invited to revel in the dripping serenity. powerfully uplifting in its whisper. bravo.

K!elly - such beauty! I could easily join you in this quietude watching and hearing the soft rain streaking down the windowpane. There is something so wondrous about rainfall. Thank you for sharing it's loveliness.

Take care - Dave

Stunningly beautiful, the way you represent one of the most common experiences in nature; taking it and turning it to a poetic sacrament offering the mind and body peace. I enjoyed. F.

This made my heart happy, thank you for writing it. I liked that nothing was capitalized and the over all layout. Jubilation in quietude is something that this world needs more of away from the noise, just stillness. Very good.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I've always loved the rain, and have made mention of it many times in my poetry. Thank you so much for your visit, Dave!

[Relic]

There's something about rain and poets. They seem to fit together so well. Your poem captures a feeling I can recognize well when thinking of the wet leaves and dripping windows. There's a quiet within us as though nature is trying to capture our attention. To remind us a quiet and reflective mind is to our benefit.

Great writing, Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Rain and poets. Yes, I think they do fit together. I really like your insight here, Tim, about nature capturing our attention, to remind us that a quiet and reflective mind can very well be to our benefit. What a perceptive thing to say. Thank you so much, my friend!

I really like the paradox of putting together jubilation (which we would think of us as celebration, perhaps noisy, rah rah) and quietude....just listening to the sound of rain...peaceful...

this poem set my mood to "calm."

[Kelly Scheppers]

I really liked the word, "quietude". Never used it before, in a poem or a sentence. How ironic is that? Thank you, Jacob!

Let all the earth keep silence, as the book says. Some might be bored by the description offered here, but the deepest peace can be found in locations like this one.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I believe so too, John. Thank you!
