Rain Falls

Rain gently falls from clouds above Upon a couple new in love Who under red umbrella hide To walk the puddled path outside. Now ponder all the varied bends Where rain and lovers' journey ends. In shallow puddles some will stay Or seep through filthy alleyway. Some drops will fall to deeping lake While others, thirsty gutters slake. But soon enough the land will dry And all will vapor back to sky. 9.8.18 Photo #4 (the first umbrella is a couple) Contest: A Rainy Day The following was added after the contest ended. ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ Interpretation: I've struggled with whether or not to add this, but if you'd like to form your own opinions on the meaning of the poem, just don't read on. The four fates of rain and lovers: Shallow Puddles - romantic flings that spring up and are fun but not meaningful Filthy Alleys - Toxic, Damaging relationships Deeping Lake - True, deep love Thirsty Gutters - One sided relationship that sucks everything out But in the end all relationships end so find the best one while you can.
