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
