A Rainy Train Journey - Happy Father's Day
A sudden rain
cloaked the rail path
Lightning strikes were furious
Thunder storms drum big
Windows drenched in rain
Unable to see the scenes
Uncertain about the future 
As we were trapped inside 

Dreading the journey,
Holding my dad's fingers
I closed my eyes;
Leaning on his arms
Lamenting the harms
Frightened me, cried

To wipe out...

Premium Member A Ray of Sun On a Rainy Day
i stood looking outside
listening to the rain 
with its long slender fingers
tap a tune against my window

squeegees in hand
i could see 
the troops of drops
clean the air
for a clearer view
while on their descent

people
some walking 
holding their umbrellas 

others running
attempting to escape
the cruel barrage of
knocks to their heads

there are a...

The Rainy Day
Rainy day
Green and grey leisure
You say
It is a pleasure

Green and grey leisure
Drifting poems in sky
It is a pleasure
Golden kites flying very high

Drifting poems in sky
You want them close
Golden kites fly very high
You are morose

You want them very close
So that you can smell
You are morose
Indweller clouds...

Rainy Days and Mondays Contest
I contemplated a suitable description
To sum up my life.  A truthful depiction
I considered a title for a romantic comedy
But I gave up romance, in exchange for monogamy 
Humor is a product of my relentless misfortunes
I’m trapped in a recurrence of Monday mornings
In a permanent...

Rainy Day Dreams

How sweet’s the lovely scent and sound of rain
As I look out amidst the sultry storm
From bursting clouds upon the window pane, 
I feel the chills on my svelte body's form. 
The thrill of thunder claps and lightning too, 
When shivers crawl and...

Rainy Days and Mondays
It's Monday
The day of the dead leaves and fresh flowers
The dry and wet hours
Like the other days
Of life and death
The desert and the lake
Thousands of the little ponds
The debris waiting for the mansion
Farmers stacking the hay
The trains that run every day

It's Monday
It's raining
As it rained...

Premium Member It Happened On a Rainy Night
Foggy mists engulfed the bright
When raindrops fell throughout the night
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark
When sweethearts kissed at Lover’s Park

The fluid rhythms, realm of rain
Where lamplight’s stream did gild the lane
Wet leaves dripped dreams from tinseled trees
And pulses flowed like rolling seas...

Foggy mists engulfed the bright
When raindrops fell throughout the night
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park
 
 
A kiss that did not last
Our lips said goodnight way too fast 
Raindrops fell down on your beautiful face
Please just one more warm embrace...

Rainy days
I have no problem
having a little rain in my life 
for it helps to wash away life's troubles. 
So let it rain I'm Okay 
just like a kid 
I'll jump in the puddles....

When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park

‘Twas the splendour of their sweet kiss
That led to years of intense bliss
Gentle rainfall and lamppost glow
Enhanced the stellar, long ago...

It Happened on a Rainy Night - Collaboration - 9-5-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Foggy mists engulfed the bright
When raindrops fell throughout the night
The lampposts glowed at midnight's dark
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park."

Raindrops pattered like two heartbeats
Nestled in a sheltered retreat,
Shared the velvet touch of a first kiss
Secret love,...

Premium Member On Rainy Afternoons
From nowhere,
a type of sadness descends 
as that which sometimes possesses  
a child on rainy afternoons
when what is vulnerable withdraws
and curls up in a corner 
of the mind to seal
itself with silence. 

It's a sadness that doesn’t 
wear a name, more like a shadow
cast...

Premium Member Lovers On a Rainy Day
Out on the porch for a little recess
From life's daily chores, listen to raindrops
Pitter-patter, musical sounds request
From gentle breeze, which stirs windchimes non-stop
Nature's orchestra plays as in hammock relaxed lay
A novel to read or just nap away
Afternoon quietly, what more pleasure
Maybe do something risque
Meet with...

My little boy on rainy days
The tin pots are out to stay
On those days very dry
Some hold vegetables; some meat fry

Bang on the unused pots, baby
Today's your day for fun ~maybe
My little boy; make some noise
Little one; use them for your toys
  
Oh! It...
