Notes About The Poem

let it rain

hello my little drop
come to paint my cheek damp -
to etch your dour rill there
and reflect her smile …
yet, you are only one
while the heavens weep wild …
let it rain … and be gone!

Welcome back to a familiar poet from the archives (well not that far back). I like what you've done with the theme here. As I read it, you soared past manipulation and got your point across well.
