I Danced in the Rain

A short poem on how I was feeling when my dad went through chemotherapy and had issues with him and our relationship.

I danced in the rain

To toss and turn

Away my pain

 

I jumped and twirled

'Round and 'round

Until my pain came falling down

 

Rain whispered songs

Into my ears

'Til it ran away my fears

 

Down inside

The back of my mind

Until it comes back

Another time

 

To remind me of

All my pain

Until it all comes back again

 

I'll stare at my window

And wait for the day

That I can again dance

My pain away

Beautiful. Each stanza flowed perfectly into the next. With just twenty short lines, you are able to hook the reader and draw them into your moment in the rain. Keep up the good work.

I liked this poem a lot as it shows how one responds to letting go pain, if even for a moment in different ways. Rain seems to be cathartic for many people, it's like it washes away everything. I am a cancer survivor and went through Two different bouts of radiation treatment, so I can if only a bit understand the worry you must have had for your father during this time.

I watched my family worry and suffer almost as much as I did. Very emotional piece.
