Jean Murray Poet Verse

Rain

I see from my window
rain falling again.
I've woken to another
moist summer day.

I hear the pitter pattter
on my skylights above.
Softly at first then
louder like a drum.

I feel the rain on my skin.
I just let it flow.
As I step out to my garden
and rose bushes below.

I touch their wet petals.
The raindrops roll
into my open palm.
Into my soul.

Rain here is different.
Falls softly on your skin.
More like gentle kisses.
No need to go back in.

Ilene Bauer August 13, 2016 at 2:30 PM This is so lovely, Jean! Jean Murray August 13, 2016 at 3:03 PM Thank you Ilene. All I had to do was think of our famous "soft Irish rain."

Daniel Turner August 13, 2016 at 1:53 PM We had a nice gentle warm rain this morning. It was delicious like this poem. This poem flows really well and is very pleasant to read. Leaves the reader feeling warm like the summer rain.Great write, Jean. Daniel Turner August 13, 2016 at 11:09 PM Absolutely!! Jean Murray August 13, 2016 at 2:14 PM In truth Daniel, I was rushing with this one as I was the last entry. I even waited to complete the last verse after I had entered the competition. Sometimes, there's nothing like a quickie....don't you agree??

John Fleming August 13, 2016 at 1:17 PM You always manage to impart such a gracious charm to your poetry, Jean; but there again I should not be surprised...I suspect that is exactly how you are in your everyday life. My very best regards...And my warmest wishes as always. :) john P.s An undoubted seven. Jean Murray August 13, 2016 at 2:11 PM Oh no.....I wish John...the IMP that's in me is far from gracious. But I can appreciate nature and all it's bounty. Thank you for your most gracious comments.
