Notes About The Poem

April 14, 2024

Inspired by Constance La France's "W" words contest (missed deadline to join).

Whisper


Whisper, rain, whisper! 
drip-drop…pitter-patter!!!!

A misty drizzling dawn, watching playful rain
carrying on a mischievous conversation with the wind ! 
Tall majestic trees shaking their branches, 
Tiny plants shivering and quivering ! 
Stories from the past float in the somber sky - 
Tapestry embroidered by fine strands of 
sadness and delight!

rose bush sways,
wind hums through the rustling leaves, 
murmuring poignant words,
conveying romance evergreen!
   
The cloud floats - fluttering fragrant petals of Jasmine,
                        swish me to an enticing youth, 
            When collecting flowers at dawn, 
                              with luscious dewdrops on them,
                        brought a sense of euphoria! 

                        Drip-drop, drip-drop,
        The dripping sound resonates memories 
           of magical swing and joyful laughter,  
           of petite flowers and vibrant chatter, 
           Kaleidoscopic raindrops hold them all. 
 
                           You whisper to me in your soft velvety voice, 
                                          reminisce our moments 
                                                  of endless bliss. 
                                                  I am breathless! 

Clouds glide, clouds waft leisurely, 
displaying colours in a stunning rainbow! 
An extravaganza of captivating hues in its palette! 

Whisper, rain, whisper! 
drip-drop…pitter-patter!!

Hi, Malabika Ray! Oh, my goodness! What a beautiful romance between you and nature's elegance, huh? I love nature and all its beauty. This type of poetry is called Romanticism! The second stanza resonates through me, (rose bush sways, wind hums through the rustling leaves, murmuring poignant words, conveying passionate romance!) I feel your passion, I'm sensing you holding nature's hand. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your poetry, plus I think it is eloquently written. Warm Regards, William

Hi William! So delighted to receive your touching comment! You are right - probably this poem should be categorized as Romantic. I enjoy a rainy day...the humming wind, the pitter-patter of rain-drops, the rustling leaves, take me to a surreal world! And poetry is the only outlet of expressing the emotions I feel. So glad to know you enjoyed my humble poem..hope to read your poems soon.

Dearest Mala, so many wonderful images that describe the joy of rain. I especially love "mischievous conversation" and the sounds of rain, "drip-drop....pitter-patter." These words , and your alliteration, really add to the experience of rain. Being from the Pacific NW, I do love the rain and its sounds. Wonderful to have you back in the soup. Hugs, blessings and much love my friend.
