Remove All of the Tears

Remove all of the Tears When on weather channel made a query Response was it will be damp and dreary And whilst it is exactly what it has been Hope it never will rain this hard again. On my poor roof rain is now pounding And surely I have heard all of it sounding With a few flashes of sun here and there Then darkness does return everywhere. Why would anyone want to be all wet? It always will seem like when you get, Wet will become behind both big ears Stolen from eyes which once were tears. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran and Poet RiverSea Plantation Bolivia, NC

Yes. Those murders at the college were horrible. I wish those kinds of things would stop.

Aha. I am bouncing back forth between poem comments. Keep writing great poems like you are currently doing. Wish I could have them start having poetry readings at local senior centers. Jim Horn

I live in Oregon and we are way below on rain. Some of the lakes that depend on tourists weren't able to open their boat rental places and you couldn't launch your own boat.

Good heavens. And you just experienced all of those terrible murders at a community college.

Isn't that funny. You are getting a lot of rain and we need rain badly.
