Raining in Summer

there upon my bedroom pane
is weaved a weary course of rain
     so indescript are they
that chase and pause then run again

from clouds they come
to drip upon parched tongues
and the thirsty fingers of
brittle wanting roots

    ~ponds fill
now... abrim with tears
pensive and sad - lonely and glad

should I wake in this gray mood
at the tempting edge of yawn
or linger in each languid refrain?

as its melody plays the music
of a lazy dawn ~ before I wake
    before it's gone...

Dear craigs, you are an amazing poet and this is no exception , and shows your creative skills so eloquently! The way your words leave an aching and deep impression is what makes your poems so very evocative for me. I especially love the line with parched tongues and thirsty fingers! I read this few times and couldnt help but feel the depth. The way you question in poems is my fav thing “ should I wake in this gray mood at the tempting edge of yawn or linger in each languid refrain?” Loved that. Thank you so much for supporting my contests. Congratulations on your win.

Dear Craig, the contemplative imagery, the lilting rhythm of your verse and the use of sporadic rhymes/near rhymes captures the dreamy melancholic atmosphere of a morning summer rain. So beautiful! I was enchanted by your wistful musing. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Lovely imagery with a pensive element to it. Love the moodiness of your well chosen words. I can feel the summer rain as I read your amazing poetry, Craig! :)
