Rain

can't equate worth from how they respond delighted to see me then I'm all wrong dance at my presence or beckon me forth look forlorn when they see me, run indoors listen to my gentle touch, that pitter patter soothing sounds on tin roof clatter make flowers thrive, glisten in beauty honour your whims and do my duty excite the senses, make rainbows appear be confident but careful not to be too cavalier never looking back to when confidence lacked I'm a force of nature, an indisputable fact

Congratulations on your win, DD! You have captured the true ambivalence surrounding rain in a delightful soliloquy from the lips of "rain!" Loved and hated, rain carries this burden as an "indisputable fact!" Having grown up in the Pacific NW, I love the rain, especially at night! This poem is such a delight like rain in the desert! Blessings!

Haha thanks Sam - luckily the rain is full of self confidence or it would never cope with those who aren't a fan. It can be rather beautiful, agreed! Thank you for your kind words x

The rain can be quite a formidable force of nature Dilly, but I see you take a more balanced approach here, looking a little deeper into the beauty it brings, despite our little hang-ups about being caught outside in it, A really lovely personification and perspective you take here, all the best for contest, cheers David

Wrote a long poem for this one before realising it was limited to 12 lines. All nature can be beautiful as well as destructive - we just have to hope we meet it on a good day. I quite like how this one tumbled out and strangely enjoyed rhyming the word 'clatter'. Thanks for your comment, appreciated
