Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Autumn's Rain Soothes My Soul

Sitting on the porch, a chill breeze caresses my face
as storm birds fly, seeking the shelter of a dry place.
Along the lake shore, trees sway to Nature's tune
the music she arranged for Ra, the sun and Luna Moon.

Threatening clouds grow weary of hovering in the sky.
Needing to spill their rain, they start racing swiftly by.
Now, the day is dreary and nearly as dark as night,
but gloomy weather repletes my heart with delight.

Autumn's rain soothes my soul with gentle showers.
Silver pearls fall to quench the thirst of petaled flowers.
It's the nurturing they need to bloom and survive.
Rainy days energize my spirit and make me feel alive.

I hear a symphony playing, dueling against the wind.
Loud percussion instruments but I'm not chagrined.
Lightning bolts are batons, waved in rhythmic time.
Thunder plays a snare drum, and the impact is sublime.

A chorus of crickets chirp and ribbits bellow from a frog.
In baritone voice he croaks while sitting perched on a log.
In the drizzle there's a melodic concert, and I sing along
to rain pattering on the roof in a perfect rainy-day song.

L Milton Hankins November 10, 2022 at 11:12 AM Jenna, this is a delightful read. I can't say these match my sentiments, but, then, I didn't write the poem! So full of rich images and marvelous rhymes. BofL in the contest. Jenna Logan November 14, 2022 at 5:21 AM Thanks very much for your thoughts, Milt. Rain affects people in different ways.
