Sam Kauffman Poet Personification

Rains

8-12 Lines – Wind, Rain, Snow, Thunder or Sun – 3-22-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rains

Each season knows your names.

Vernal vixen splendor rides in misty cloud ships 
Solstice downpour impregnates fertile blue fields 
Your sheaves of rain call you autumnal,
Platinum queen, you dance the frozen fandango.

Your crystal pearls you drape on empty branches
And wrap the dawn and dusk in a silver scarf
As weathervanes spin in your tempest’s tantrums.

You creep across the sky disguised in wispy veils,
Tiptoeing into place, then open wide your space
The blazing daystar joins with you, teasing minx,
Conceiving rainbows.

Ink Empress March 23, 2024 at 1:00 PM Dear samszy, you amaze me with your way of writing and weaving words together, another one that left me in awe speechless, i like your depiction of rain, and how artistic, and fun you got with it, especially loved the lines “ As weathervanes spin in your tempest’s tantrums.” “ You creep across the sky disguised in wispy veils, Tiptoeing into place, then open wide your space“ love it! And so well delivered! I think yours is very unique also love the alliterations and your diction, Best wishes

Silent One March 23, 2024 at 8:47 AM This is great personification and I like how throughout the poem, it employs vivid imagery to depict the transformative power of spring, such as "crystal pearls" draped on empty branches and dawn and dusk wrapped in a "silver scarf." The personification of spring as a teasing minx, conceiving rainbows with the "blazing daystar," adds a playful and whimsical element to the poem. Sam Kauffman April 9, 2024 at 10:33 AM Hi SO! I am so happy that you enjoyed this whimsical walk in the rain! Rain has such a magical quality for me as a child of the pacific NW having spent many an afternoon watching raindrops transform the world outside my window. Delighted that sense of wonder came through to you! Thank you so much for your delightful feedback! Sending you Easter season blessings and my gratitude..
