Notes About The Poem

contest Raindrops

sponsor Jcb Brul

Raindrops

The sad surreal sense of loneliness
is felt more intently when the rain falls
as each raindrop throbs in the ear
pouring their sound of sadness into the soul
of aches and pain that pierces the heart

while sitting alone in the rain's dreary darkness
time becomes an endless clock hand
   that never turns
where the sound of rain invites memories
of times when the rain fell not from clouds
   rather from the eyes
where tracks were not seen etching the soil
   rather they etched the face
making raindrops a secret garden
of pelting sound and visual serenade
that give threads of silent reflection
to be woven into a softer fabric
   of emotional ponderings

"as each raindrop throbs in the ear pouring their sound of sadness into the soul of aches and pain that pierces the heart" - The gloomy aspect of the raindrop is beautifully brought out. Congratulations!

Gosh, how do you always write in such evocative ways? Truly this is soul touching and so heartfelt and i felt it more as i read “ time becomes an endless clock hand that never turns where the sound of rain invites memories of times when the rain fell not from clouds rather from the eyes” that hits so deep! A fave this is for me! Best wishes for the contest

"Raindrops keep falling on my head, but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red, crying's not for me/cuz, I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining/ because I'm free/nothing's worrying me..." My first impression dear poet
