Rain

Rain falls upon the streets. Overflowing the creeks. Pattering with constant beats. Rain falls upon the plains. Creating natural lanes. Until the sunlight wanes. Rain falls upon their heads. And they rush indoors to their beds. No one loves the tears the world sheds. Rain falls upon the graves. Of those we long ago forgave. And of those we still crave.

Thank you for those words. I've been looking around reading as many poems as I can, there is a ton of talent all crammed onto this one little website. It can bring a tear to your eye. This is my first comment, cause yes, I am extremely socially awkward. that is why I turn myself to writing so easily. Again, thank you for the words, it's good to be here.

Thank you for everything you said. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. I was relieved to finally post my work somewhere, I had this and many others stashed away in a file folder for a couple years now. I'm glad I found this place, and all the other works of art people have posted here.
