Cloudburst

 

A steady downpour

finds me wishing

I had forgotten my umbrella

For drenched is what

 I long to be,

in my memories of you

raining upon my heart,

cascading through my mind,

saturating my dreams,

drowning my desires

and washing away my happiness

 

The sun breaks through the clouds

and I remember why I brought it

This is so cool, no hot, no wait, I am confused, is the rain good, or bad? Seriously, nice play here Will.

I have no idea and I wrote the damn thing. :) Thanks so much KLGoode. Happy you enjoyed my scattered weather report.

[Kayleigh]

You're on a roll Will with these outstanding poems. I am away on business trip and didn't think I would get on, I can only imagine how many requests I would have came back too... Plus, if I didn't have access I couldn't read you or talk to Dale and I tell you, not talking to Dale kills. ;)) What can I say? I'm a sucker.

Anyway, this was outstanding -- I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you again Kayleigh. You have made me smile this afternoon. Wishing you much fun on your business trip and a speedy return to your love.

[Kayleigh]

It's business, not sure about the fun part but thank you Will. I think we are both counting down the days and hours -- minutes and seconds. :))

[Kelly Scheppers]

I love a steady downpour...of rain and emotion.
So wonderfully composed.

[willweb]

Thank you Kelly for this nice review of my poem. I am happy this one poured on you.

[Matching Socks]

Another signature piece.
You know, if you dropped the last 3 lines...
It might actually sound remotely happy.
Just teasing, I love your poetry, it always tugs at my heart.
Maybe I should lend you my toolbox?

[willweb]

If you have an eraser in that toolbox, sure. Thanks so much Ance. You are always so nice to me. I am happy you liked most of this one today. :)

[Matching Socks]

I have scissors ... Snip, snip. :)
Nah, just kidding, your poem is perfect, it's how you feel.

[willweb]

Uh, please be careful with those scissors. :)
