Rainy Day Games

Just a short poem about the way I perceive rain.

Rainy Day Games

Rain pours all around me

Children stomping around in red shiny gum boots

Rain pounding on umbrellas, in desperate attempts to break the shelter

Cars splash the muddy rain upon me

Reciting its rhythmic downpour

The sun comes out

Will it save the day?

Quickly clouds!

Smother it with your sooty selves

The rain continues on

Steadfast, firmly dedicated

To soak us.

It’s like a game

But of course you reign

Author's Note

Please do not perceive the “reign in this poem” as a mistake. In the poem it’s meant to represent the way rain dominate us in its game, therefore you would spell it “reign”. A little play on words there!
Also I’m trying to write another poem about rain so any rain stories are welcome! I would love some ideas. Any willing editors? Please review!

Good job! I love how you talked about rain. I will edit too if you like and just keep writing about the great things about rain. I love it too!

Kids may love the rain. Rain does have good purpose. The green earth need the water to maintain. A very good poem. I like a rainy day on a hot day myself. A very good ending for the outstanding poem. Thank you.

Love this. It's brilliant to me. I love the gum booted children. I love rain anyway!

There's a lot of texture and movement in here ~ very cool! You really set a mood with this piece.

I love the idea you put in this poem!!!!!
hmm, it all looks pretty good, but in the third line I would use the word 'pounds' instead of 'pounding', because it might sound better..
