A Rain Soaked Drought

The potter patters are loud
In my head
Like my mind is a tin roof
In the pouring rain.
Outside the reality rain
Hides my tears
Through the pain.
Since I am grounded
My stems make sure
The water fills up
Faster than it is deleted,
This allowing me
To sprout endless seeds
Of love even though
My dam life
Is always broken.

Really nice poetic expression here Dale. If you cry in the rain, others don’t notice those painful tears as much. A lovely read.

Tears hidden in the rain very powerful image.

thank you so much

I don't know if this was your intended meaning but I felt like reality rain was virtual. I got a sense of new technology combined with human emotions. Deleting water and endless seeds like tweets and threads. Maybe you could sell the sound of potter patters to the white noise people

dearest Dale…Broken Stems need Rain as Iris dance in feathery gowns of lustful laughter and passions pouting … grounded to the Earth in all their Glory… Amen… tenderly, Pat

I love this. I really, really do. It is so clever. If it never rains, we never grow and even broken we sprout seeds of love. I am in this place right now and appreciate so much how you expressed this lesson!

thank you so much. glad you liked it.

Interesting read here Dale. Love the images of a tin roof mind, reality rain. Certainly can identify with the poem's conclusion "my damn life is always broken".

thank you Ken

Simplicity, yet extremely powerful, is how I’d describe what generates in this, your writing piece. Well done on portraying a picture of life as it is. Thank you x

My friend. The poem had the feel of a country song. You allowed the reader to feel the emotions of the thoughts. I liked the honest ending and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
