Looking At the Rain Contest

Looking at the rain, feeling the pain Wishing you'd love me once again Looking at the rain, heartbreak I can't contain Feeling the pain, looking at the rain Looking at the wind, watching it spin Where did you end and I begin Looking at the wind, losing you is a sin Watching it spin, looking at the wind Looking at the wall, wishing you'd call Loneliness is my downfall Looking at the wall, a love to end all Wishing you'd call, looking at the wall Looking at the rain, feeling the pain Please end my misery and explain Looking at the rain, right here I'll remain Feeling the pain, looking at the rain 2nd place Looking at the Rain Gordon Lightfoot Inspiration Poetry Contest 10th May 2023 Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori

Oh my! You removed your audio link! Your singing was so good, that's why you were elevated to second place! Oh well, I guess people won't be able to hear you sing. :( Thanks for entering the contest though, great poem!!!

It is very well written, DD. I would love to hear it sung. It is truly written in lyric format. Very impressive!

Thanks, it is of course based on someone else's lyrics, so all the best lines are stolen :) Thanks for your kind words

You didn't miss out, it really was just an impromptu sing it once whilst in the car thing because it suddenly poured down and I was waiting 5 minutes. The tune was different by the end as I hadn't planned it :) best lines are from the original song. Thanks for your kind words

Congratulations on your win! Teasing us with an audio of you singing, I would've enjoyed if you shared, especially if you sound like Bowie. Lol

Haha thanks Jo, it added an extra dimension for the contest, but I'm not quite ready for launching my singing career just yet :D
