Best Downpour Poems

We danced in the downpour

The rains falls
not hard, more of a drizzle
this late Winter night
leaning on the light post
across the street,
watching the light in your window,
glowing slats through mini blinds,
outlines of your silhouette,
damp steel seeping my jacket,
cars pass, wipers waving, 
splashing in circular patterns,
glistening tire...

She sits with heavy heart
Watching the rain
Pouring relentlessly
As feelings flow
Warm tears run down her face
Easing the pain
Until the deluge stops
And street lights glow!

The cloud's, throats of water
One against the other collide
Spitting out a torrent
On earth leaving a fright
And after,  a calmness wide...

Cascading in a rush
With a vociferous gush
Big drops on the crown
Poured steadfastly down
Amidst lightening and storm
And a loud thunderous sound
Playful restless 
With a mischievous step
Banging at the door
Of her little head
 A frenzied lot
Of deafening knocks 
Raring roaring
Persistent, non stop...
Deftly she caught some
Coalesced  them...

Whispers that were spoken were done to cause pain

Tears that were shed slowly became a stormy rain

Fear and anguish hovered and became a filmy dew

The deluge discussion lingered and was in the wind that blew

Heartache was there ending point to show an inner power

They will...

A downpour of torrential rain is all I see
          out my sill so clear with dark intensified-
I see the thrashing from lightning on my willow tree, 
  as this thunderstorm is a cyclone personified.

blinding 
lightning 
cracks,
shatters
watery 
darkness 
of the sky;

blasts 
of thunder,
wipers 
shudder,
drag 
themselves 
across

my frosted,
rain-battered 
windshield;
need to 
pull over 
for a safe 
shiver!

Love your dark grey face
With silver flash of anger
Downpour of tantrums....

A sudden downpour –
Everyone runs for shelter
Even the street dogs!...

O good servant!
Bring the white mare, grazing in the pasture,
And saddle her;
Or take out the Ranger car, in the backyard 
Is  the thatched garage.
It’ new spring, and heavy downpour,
Call her to company me,
Order a tent with tables and toys, bedding and lighting,
And a countryside...

Volts of lightning
Roaring rumbling thunder
Stormy evenings

Spectrum of lights
Reflecting rainbow's end
Past the downpour

Laughter of kids
Playing, running all around
Clear skies happiness

Pouring down the pane, singing
It’s the praise of soft rain
Gentle, like a sweet kiss falling
On whispering, hopeful lips

Gracious and gifted with faith
Painting the countryside in hues
Of misty gray music, forgiving
Thriving on the nourishment 
It drenches with life, a pure diet
On black earth and vibrant petals
Caressing,...

rain pours out wishes
dreams whisper soft, silently
through shadow of storms

showers of kindness
drench the sorrows from the heart
breathing mystic peace

drizzling down, flooding
filling hearts with hope and praise
blessings from heaven

streaming down windows
painting hues of brilliant joy
capturing starlight

falling across lands
triggering sprouts to shoot up
toward azure skies
