Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

It's Rain, Raining, Still Raining

As I sit here watching all the rain
coming down relentlessly on my window pane
it doesn't take time at all to stop
so much water coming down, is it sane?

Now it can be therapeutic just to watch
the rain makes lines on the glass
it draws these routes in various shapes
makes you wonder, will it ever all pass

How does God produce all this rain?
these clouds above, do they just burst?
mind you, it can refresh your very tongue
one full glass can quench your thirst

Here in Scotland, we get plenty of it
it seems we get more than most
our buckets are full to running over
when outside, you've nothing to boast

Nobody seems to enjoy the rain
everyone complains about its effect
but the farmers love it for their crops
then we all reap its fruitful benefits

Darlene De Beaulieu November 2, 2025 at 10:43 AM Hello Gordon, I like the rain. I don;t mind when it sprinkles down. iI enjoy the feel of the rain drops. feeling of the raindrops. Touching my skin. it feels refreshing. Also washes my glasses. Rain is good for the farmers, Good for the gardens. Gives us more water. Your friend. /Darlene/ Darlene De Beaulieu November 3, 2025 at 11:14 AM Hello Gordon, Here in Canada we get rain in the winter. plain rain is okay. it is the freezing rain that makes me get tense. I am afraid to fall and brak something. So I do not go ut in freezing rain. Your Friend, /Darlene/ Gordon Mcconnell November 3, 2025 at 2:21 AM Thanks Darlene, yes rain can be nice at times but here in Scotland we get an awful lot of it especially in the winter months. Have a blessed week, Gordon
