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....

A nicely written comparison of rain and relationship. It was a pleasure to read.

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..

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.

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?
