Rain

nature is seldom appreciated. people, myself included, seemed to be so focused on life that they sometimes fail to notice the beauty of nature.

Rain was streaming down from the opaque sheet overhead, gushing with liquidity and individuality they sparkled with inner joy at the airs excitment.
She stood just beyond the rains reach, underneath her porch with her arms held out, the water falling silently down on her ivory skin. She indulged herself in the pleasures that rain made her feel and see. She admired the way the water would slide off her arm, the way it slicked her skin with crystallized moisture, and the way it felt like some unknown and undiscovered velvet.
She listened to the sound that the rain made, the quick beating of the water and the unusual way you could hear every droplet as it hit the ground. She stood there and admired the way the grass glowed after the storm had ended, the way the rain glittered like wild diamonds, the way the flowers wilted as cups of water poured down their shamelessly smooth pedals. She loved to see the rain, to see in its only purest form as simply falling water.

I fell in love with this, especially because I agree with you - our surroundings, the one constant in our busy lives, are never appreciated. And even the stability it can offer is shakable and changes by the day in some small form.
But about your writing: it has an incredible power to it behind its vocabulary and vividness. Somehow the character feels as if it could be anyone. The entire thing, short as it is, is beautiful.
Kudos.

Very visual. Natural phenomenas are indeed a wonderful thing, and the unique feeling caused by the touch of rain is well described here.

An amazingly vivid write; the sights, sounds, and feel of rain described so clearly... Love rain and love the way you describe the many aspects of its beauty! Excellent!

I enjoyed your poem a lot. It was beautifully written and so very true. Rain is a marvelous thing and most people take it for granted. I hope to read more of your work =]
