These Are The Nights

These are the nights worth living for.

Rain is pouring

But it's raising my spirits high

The sound is luring

It's making my feet fly

Dancing in the twilight

My hair's a dripping mess

Everything feels alright

Washing away distress

I smile while the rain falls

Just because everything's silent,

Not even a bird call

Everything's peaceful, nothing's violent.

The pit, pat of rain is my only worry.

The reflection of street lights

Is distorted and all blurry

These are the nights.

These are the nights worth living for

A cheerful quiet hum

No idea what's in store

Or further in the night to come

But that doesn't matter

As long as you're as you are now

People hide and they scatter

You don't understand why or how

These are the nights worth living for.

Hi Apatheia, The first of your poems I have read. It feels like it has promise. The structure is fine but it feels as if you majored on finding rhyme and it has got in the way of emotions flowing across the page. Try some pros poetry. It feels as if you can write. It feels sort of so 'whatish'; when I finished I thought "and?"

A very good poem. I like the rain on a warm day. Many a days in Texas. We sat in the rain sipping beer and whiskey with the cooling rain coming down upon us. Some rain isn't so friendly.
"Everything feels alright
Washing away distress"
Thank you for the excellent poem.
