Constance La France Poet Verse

Rain

 
The drumming of rain and tapping of raindrops
Booming thunder, swishing, splashing of cars
Cleansing of the city, the distant rolling
Power and anger of a rain storm
Weather forecast, rain

Wet foliage, the call of birds chirping melodies
The hum and constant dripping of the storm
Candlelight within my dwelling, flickering
The dripping, dripping, dripping
Weather forecast, rain

The hush of fading raindrops, the gentleness
Peacefulness and tranquility within me
Hypnotizing rain, rain, rain falling
The sweet smell of the city
Weather forecast, rain

The calmness envelopes my soul and mind
A purring, soft cat sleeps on my lap
Steaming cup of chocolate cafe
Stillness of rain, beautiful
Weather forecast, rain

Andrea Dietrich October 6, 2012 at 11:05 PM very inventive, having it always rain but showing the GREAT side of the rain at the end. REally nice one, Constance, Congrats on your win.

Joy Wellington October 5, 2012 at 8:08 PM This was one of the outlines that caught my attention as well. I particularly love the contrast of the first verse against the last. Even though it was still raining there was a peacefulness that radiates tranquility. Lovely. congrats on this big win. One love. Joy Wells

Russell Sivey September 8, 2012 at 11:18 AM Talking about beautiful, this write is surly one of the most beautiful poems that I have read of yours Constance...and you have some spectacular ones! What an extraordinary piece here my friend, I am truly amazed with this write, the Weather forecast is RAIN here too! I really enjoyed the line, "The sweet smell of the city" I can smell that right now...though I don't live in the city, I do have friends that do, and it does have a certain scent to it! But so does the country...another poem maybe!
