It Rained
It rained this morning...
but I am not surprised
myself arising a bit
on the cloudy side --
by the afternoon
my mind a blaze
of clear activity --
the sun was high
and bright --
to the contrary,
the day before
I arose quite chipper --
yet it rained all day
such a windy, soggy
dripper
the night even more fierce
not a star of light
what

And It Rained
It rained the night I met him there.
The wind blew hard and the rain soaked my hair.
It rained the night we changed my name to his.
And it rained the night of our last kiss.

And Then You Rained
Your first touch awakened in me
A longing, a lotus
A love I once thought dead
You stood there and filled
My entire sky with only that sole
Moonstone look in your eyes
The one that told me I was
No longer alone on this desolate plain
And then something broke free
From the dusty shale and quartz
Shaped like a heart inside of me
As

The Day It Rained Penguins
It was September 16th, 1898, the day it rained penguins.
There was a magician in town; he arrived in a hot air balloon.
Who does he think he is? We asked ourselves, but we were intrigued.
The penguins were all over the streets, running and hopping.
Did they come down from the sky? Did he bring them in the

When the Sky Rained Nectar
As the scurrying clouds clashed and broke
Sparks of light cut instant pathways
Thunder stamped across the darkening sky
Like an enraged beast, violently hurt
Witnessing this accident of a collision,
The sky’s bosom heaved in suppressed pain
In her sunken eyes, tears flooded unawares
And fell, drop by drop in deep dismay
The cacophonous wind joined in a waltz
With the drops

When the Summer Rained
Hot air causes me to sweat
Stress causes me to cry
There’s nowhere to hide from my emotions
But I still try
Food hates me
Weight loss deteriorates me
They ask me what’s wrong but I have no answer
Confusion and anger cloud my judgement
I want to move forward but I have no legs
Life moves around me as

After It Rained
Soon after the sky had shed her liquid sorrow
When dark clouds quickly vanished
It turned immaculate, spotlessly blue.
As the cosmic hiss subsided
And the wind withdrew to its unknown hideout,
There was a hush- the hush that follows,
As the priest concludes his spirited sermon.
In that quiet, when dream and life coalesced
I saw the leaves trembling in the

It Hasn'T Rained In Two Weeks
the raindrops commit suicide on the window
as if they wanted to wash the goodbye signs
with the blood of the water,
- the rain today carries swords like a samurai,
kills the morning
the horizon is a simple bandana tied up on the eyes,
don't worry, in case if you don”t come
i will understand, - we will be

It Rained and Rained
Now politicians play word game.
Saying climate change is to blame,
Implying Nature's got it wrong
And that they were right all along.
So these great powers must impress
And claim they can cure the mess.
For they will play the salesman game
And lie that they are not to blame.

Because It Rained I Went Out To Drink the Storm
Rained,
but it didn't become dark...
The birds fled from the sky,
the heat turned cold, the world clear
grayed out...
Me on my side of the world,
I didn't become upset...
Sans umbrella, the way I delight myself
i opened the doors of the world
i and went out to drink the storm...!

Rained Out Sparrow Where His Shelter Is
Rained out Sparrow Where His Shelter is

lay his head when pouring rains
he's in God big hands

The Last Time It Rained
The Last Time it Rained
David J Walker
How can say
you don’t remember
The last time
The scent of moisture
Teased the scenes
With hope from heaven falling
From the sky
Drenching as it quenches
The dry smoldering fires
From on high
Fulfilling the desires from
Deep within the trenches
That will bleed in the need
Of filling with rain
Mark the missed days

Rained Out
A hazelnut breeze awakens us
To another day in the show no one signed up for
From an accidental scream
Or selfish architects of love
Rained out
Silver skies that block the sun
Do others cry when the shine reappears
To break a perfect aesthetic of gloom?
Rained out
The cancellation of a party no one wanted
Light of pocket and of mind
To forever repeat

It Rained Whole Night
It rained whole night
Hurling little drops
Towards my window …………………
Alone she walks
Avoiding bed tea
On sandy lawn
Her feet,
Squeezing wet grass
Spring out water
On marks they leave.
A reflux snuff
Dries wet nose
As water on foot mark
Disappear at once
Oh. Now I remember
Last night I came home,
Then the sky was dark

Terror Rained
The day my life went 'hatter' mad
When carnage of the saddest sad
Rained down hell from high above
One soul of darkness void of love ...
What horrors
