Chris Green Poet Free verse

Freezing Rain

-
My tears fall like
freezing rain
dripping from barren
branches overhead,
dampening my smile,
replacing the sunrise
with clouded sorrow
as your heart breaks
like thin ice
in the winter
of your sadness-

John Hamilton December 16, 2019 at 1:02 PM Like thin ice in the winter of your sadness, I thought you were describing Sandy, and looking at her comment I see I was right. This is going to be a classic melancholy piece, and I love it...into my faves, chock full of Chris Green poems! Chris Green December 16, 2019 at 1:22 PM I had just finished reading some of her poetry from the weekend and I could feel her sorrow and pain and wanted to post something that told her she wasn't alone. Thanks so much John.

Lin Lane December 16, 2019 at 11:47 AM "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone..." Ain't none here either. Winter rains are on their way, and if I didn't love the rain, I'd be sad. Your image of rain falling from barren branches is perfect for setting the mood of your write. Chris Green December 16, 2019 at 12:20 PM Thanks so much Lin. Kind of a gloomy morning here today but now the sun is coming out and it appears it will be a beautiful afternoon.
