The Powerhouse of Rain

The powerhouse of rain, insane but nice. A liquid ray compared to so-so lot. The sun still hides but does have fun to soak the neighborhood whose streets do wash away the glum. It’s better than the dreary haze. I’ll graze upon its drums and sip the sound. The Winter’s chill abates. I’m overdressed. I’ll wear sweat shirt, thin socks; still stay inside. The caterpillar sun will show its face. Evolving moon will find its place at dusk.

Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed your blank verse. Would love to see more. Blank verse with strict iambic metre and not tethered by rhyme. Best wishes.

Wonderful imagery, Kim; you engaged several senses--I'm impressed that you did so. The last two lines struck a chord with me. Plus, I'll wear my shirt shirt, thin socks, and stay inside until spring :-) smiles, Sara anxiously waiting for the dreariness to disappear

Dear Kim, this is a very deeply moving poem that depicts how sometimes we feel when sun is hiding and rain is the only reality, seasons and how it impacts and leaves one overdressed etc youve described in an intricate manner: i especially love how youv written “ The sun still hides but does have fun to soak“ sun always finds its way to soak us when all is but dreary somehow: i want to stay in too when its cold. Pleasure reading your well woven metaphors and imagery, sending you light always.

The transformative power of nature, particularly the rain, in uplifting the mood and atmosphere of a neighborhood, Kim. The beauty and impact of rain, the changing seasons, and the contrast between the dreary winter and the hopeful arrival of spring are well-depicted. The language in the poem is descriptive and evocative, using vivid imagery to paint a picture of the rain's effect on the environment.
