I hate the rain

I hate the rain-

I hate the rain!

Fingers and toes

Shriveled and soaked

Bones groan

Body shivers 

'til clouds of grey

Are Pushed away

And all the flowers glitter

This is charming, magnificient really.

After reading this piece I was curious to know if you were from London....we tend to hate rain after we have lived there.....nice imagery none the less.

[Hatchling]

Nice imagery. I liked it but you used the title twice in your poem.

[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

You used some interesting word choices to convey the imagery. I'm not to sure about the repetition of the opening line. Maybe you could've used a contrast or something. However your poem as a subtle vitality to it. And makes you think despite being short and subtle. Which is something I like in poetry. Only negative thing about it is the over-usage of the title in the poem itself.

Interestingly enough i was just listening to a two minute sound bite of rain in the middle of one of my favorite metal songs.. hehe

Really good. Short and simple, but slammed full of meaning. I'm tired of rain. Glittering flowers might be nice once in a while.

sounds like someone has a case of arthritis and cast out their sunshine :)

This is awesome. I love the whole contrast and everything you have here.

Yeah....this was like eating that hundred calorie snack pack when you are on a hardcore diet, a little slice of heaven really. Its like an hour glass, you could flip it upside down and get a similar effect. Great stuff.
