Rain

The drumming of rain and tapping of raindrops Booming thunder, swishing, splashing of cars Cleansing of the city, the distant rolling Power and anger of a rain storm Weather forecast, rain Wet foliage, the call of birds chirping melodies The hum and constant dripping of the storm Candlelight within my dwelling, flickering The dripping, dripping, dripping Weather forecast, rain The hush of fading raindrops, the gentleness Peacefulness and tranquility within me Hypnotizing rain, rain, rain falling The sweet smell of the city Weather forecast, rain The calmness envelopes my soul and mind A purring, soft cat sleeps on my lap Steaming cup of chocolate cafe Stillness of rain, beautiful Weather forecast, rain ______________________ September 8, 2012 Poetry/Free Verse/Rain Copyright Protected, ID 09-419-258-08 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France Submitted to the Standard contest, Rain Sponsor, Silent One, Judged 09/2021 Third Place

This was one of the outlines that caught my attention as well. I particularly love the contrast of the first verse against the last. Even though it was still raining there was a peacefulness that radiates tranquility. Lovely. congrats on this big win. One love. Joy Wells

Talking about beautiful, this write is surly one of the most beautiful poems that I have read of yours Constance...and you have some spectacular ones! What an extraordinary piece here my friend, I am truly amazed with this write, the Weather forecast is RAIN here too! I really enjoyed the line, "The sweet smell of the city" I can smell that right now...though I don't live in the city, I do have friends that do, and it does have a certain scent to it! But so does the country...another poem maybe!
