Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Rain

Take care with wet wishes --

there is a shortage of road sponges,

then come the splashes

rivers that overflow

can carry away foolish rafters 

those who did not heed the sky,
soaked, desperately needing dry

be careful of wet kisses;
the clouds they come out of -- 
debris they also carry
can sorely tarry
when thought is to settle-down
and lovingly marry -- 

rain can clean, quench and grow 
kisses can comfort head-to-toe, 
can drench when overflow

be thoughtful, restraint when making
decisions -- we will all make mistakes

but, long term, no benefits from wet
brakes....

Hilda Greenhough July 3, 2024 at 2:57 PM A nicely written comparison of rain and relationship. It was a pleasure to read. Joseph P. DiMino July 3, 2024 at 3:07 PM Thank you, Hilda; blessings.

Silent One July 3, 2024 at 2:23 PM Interesting analogy, there is mercy in rain, but there is also negative aspects... it all depends on how we deal with it... clever poetry my friend.. Joseph P. DiMino July 3, 2024 at 2:49 PM Hi Si; yes, learn how to deal with -- it will fall regardless. Thank you, my friend.

Mystic Rose Rose July 3, 2024 at 1:00 PM rain can heal us wet hid us wound us and un-thirst us, so many many things, one thing I know for sure everyone loves to write poetry about rain. Love your poem Joe, maybe I'll try one about rain too lol Joseph P. DiMino July 3, 2024 at 2:05 PM Hi Vie; thank you. This was written rather quickly, so I just changed a few words after a reread. I was reading a lot of poems on rain this morning -- a phrase popped into my head, and I just went with the inspiration for few more paragraphs. Other poets do inspire us. Great to have a talented community like Soup. Blessings my friend.

Andrea Dietrich July 3, 2024 at 10:36 AM Yep.yep, I never did like lots of wet kisses . My home state is being flooded now by floods I hear. Not good at all! Joseph P. DiMino July 3, 2024 at 11:07 AM Hi Andrea; thank you. Weather patterns changing, the Sun is undergoing internal changes, has heated up slightly -- doesn't take much. Probably all normal. History says this occurs before a mini Ice Age. Very little to do with people breathing out CO2 and Cow farts, real science. CO2 means more vegetables and fresh oxygen. People are so misinformed. My uneducated opinion for what it is worth. Who knows?
