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.

The music and the poetry pair well.
It feels like thick, humid misery.
A work of art.

you be careful out there in the rain tonight!
Very beautiful and well written. I enjoyed it. I loved how you said "Color me sad" as if "sad" has a color. Interesting.

haha... that would only release the filter my friend :)
You always have the perfect piece of music. On this one I have to wonder if the song didn't spark the poem. It can be pouring when there's not a cloud in the sky.
