Notes About The Poem

THE SIMPLE POETRY Poetry Contest. Sponsored by: Sotto Poet 

 RAIN  

A pretty sunny day can start off with white fluffy clouds, the bright blue sky becomes the big backdrop. I love to sit and watch the white fluffy clouds, as they dance across the bright blue sky. Many times as I watch, I see zoo animals walking by. Then the thunder sounds off, like a canon across the sky. The day is going from pretty to dark, is rain about to come in for a visit? As the peaceful wind starts to pick up, the birds fly to hide. It has been hot and dry here, everything needs a bath and a cool drink. The flowers and trees welcome the rain, as the pitter patter starts. Come down slow they seem to say, make the rain last for awhile.

Indeed, a slow soaking rain is the best. Clouds not only for watering, but for dreaming as you so delightfully say. Wonderful imagery. Blessings.

Lovely verse Paula ☺️ I love the way you present the process of the rains arrival. Fluffy white clouds to start with and gradually arrival of the rain. After this hot summer, the rain is welcome. Lovely ☺️ looks like a great one for the contest 🌸🌸

A gentle, uplifting free-verse poem that follows the sky’s lovely transformation from sunshine to welcome rain. The simple, childlike cloud imagery—especially the “zoo animals walking by”—gives it charm, while the thirsty flowers and trees make the arriving shower feel like a small blessing.
