Rainy Night in Georgia

Rainy Night in Georgia

A Poem by wordman
"

"
Color me gray
as the sky fades to black
color me sad
on this cold rainy night

Rainy night in georgia
takes a toll,
as the rain
falls on my soul

I miss you sweet heart
i need you to hold
i need you to touch me baby
touch my soul

I guess 
i should have never let you go
now i feel you sweet heart
deep down in my soul

You see 
true love never dies
and as i stand here in the rain
my heart still cries ...

A lovely poem indeed.

A couple suggestions?
All your stanzas have an ABCB rhyme scheme except for the first one. You might want to change the last line in that 1st stanza to something like, "I want my sweetheart back"

Also, I know spelling doesn't count in poetry, in fact, you can even make up your own words, but the last word on the last line should be cries.

Hi, Ron!
Lyrically speaking, the word painting of your pen takes me easily into the moment created for imagination to step seamlessly through.
There is something about this kind of dark rain that sets the emotional mood, creating an atmosphere so alluringly real to the senses I can virtually feel the ache and loneliness of sad yearning that pervades so deeply within, it actually embraces the soul, drenching the spirit with dark, forlorn tears.

Man! I need to read more of you! You truly can paint some real-feeling imagery into the mind's-eye, My Fine Poet Friend … a thousand thanks to you for sharing this little beaut! ⁓ Richard


(psst! make the last word "cries")

This sounds more like a Texas song than a Georgia song. Kidding. I like how I didn't even notice you used soul as your last word in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th paragraphs until I went up to find something to critique. It just read cleanly. I enjoyed it.

i should have known ! and here i am in tennessee and you in texas,oh well cheers to you !
I can tell you're a strong man, like a watchful musky ox watching over the prairie at dusk... ensuring the safety of all the musky oxen under your watchful musky eye....

Such a gross enjoyment of pleasure it was, of mine, to read you my sweet musky ox of a man....

I will treasure it forever in your graceful memory.

I let you go
and now my heart is broken
The rain is falling,
now I'm crying

And now I wanna go to Georgia to see the cold rainy night. It's just that there are times that the rain keeps on reminding us of people we should have never let go.

HansJizzy and ANTO are one and the same. ANTO blocked someone who had never commented on his stuff, at exactly the same time as HansJizzy did.

avoid! avoid!
