Rain

Little droplets of rain kiss my cheeks.
Soaking my cloths.
Drenching my hair.
But I do not wish to go inside.
For I love to watch the rain.
Falling from its cloud.
Smacking the ground.
Making pitter patter sounds.
Blurring the trees.
As more falls. Cascading down.
A thought enters my mind.
Why shall the sky cry?

A piece destined to become a classic. I just can envision this one studied in an English classroom someday like Thoreau, Wordsworth and Dickinson.... Word choice is grand...'little droplets'...the drenched hair...'Smacking the ground'...'pitter patter sounds'...'Blurring the trees'.... And the profound concluding last line... No accommodations need to be made relative to age as this work of art is befitting of anyone and everyone. Marvelous job! :-)

Lovely flow. very nice. i love how you wrote it. Rain can be like this..
it's as if the sky is sad and wishes to express her sadness by raining..
Great job!!

That was awsoome. I love the rhythum of the poem especiallly since the words you used made it slide through my mind, I love it when poetry works like that.

[Gomer LePoet]

Nice piece 2b. My interpretation of why the sky cries is the same as why a being of any sort cries, to refresh the soul and wash away old pains. :)

I love the imagery you have created through the use of words—it’s a work of art! :D also the last line is particularly my favourite.

Awesome! You do an amazing job with imagery. And I agree with the person before me; the last line was really nice. :)
