spring rain is falling
umbrellas fill the streets
like pop-ups on beach
They call me leaf;
My life is brief;
The wind's stolen a kiss from me like a thief;
The nightingales sing as a new spring's coming;
A season where there's no place for grief;
The sun shines again after a hard winter,
And the sound of the rain helps my pain to relief;
My scars recover when I smell flowers;
When I dance with you in spring showers;
The lightnings tear the heart of the cloud;
They cry so sad, roaring too loud.
The sky's singing a song called rain;
It reminds me of our love,
A love mixed with pain.
"Sunshine's rousing cheers echo the day in as clouds move made anew." Quote by poet
Rain is coming, and the sky is gray.
Staring out the window while nature is waiting
For the welcoming rain this season of May.
The first drops fall, earthly petrichor weighing
In palms, hooking to surface of plants and dry soil.
Like bubbles, falling droplets are captivating.
Stunning with strokes of raindrops enhancing the soil.
Flowers, a vibrant ambience, rousing the day.
Climbing old stones, vines adorn that weave and coil.
Once clouds have purged, air is fresh, and sun rays spray.
Refreshing rain rests upon the earth's breast;
Blue jays, red cardinals, and hummingbirds play.
Days chuckle; plump latent seedbeds nest.
While frisky squirrels bound across seeds that rest.
a Rhyming Alliterisan poem
A slick, soaking spring rain stops
picnic plans and closes shops
in the valley and village
as river’s runoff spillage
inundates us inside-out,
overflowing all our spouts~
until sun breaks wide the sky.

rain knocks at my w s e n
a call from h e a v e n.
The dark sky stretches across the heights.
Overcast clouds roam, late at night.
The round moon does not reveal its rays.
The snow on the peaks may melt away.
In the morning, the sparrows fly joyfully,
Plucking flowers and perching in the trees.
A pair of wild doves appears sad and silent,
While blackbirds search for worms with talent.
Spring flowers bloom along the front fence,
Like a group of teenagers practicing a dance,
Watching the rain play in the new season.
The small leaves will take turns next month.
The spring blends both sad and happy
It is a rule that governs human society
There is a desire for couples to despise
Thus, we all change from time to time
weeping on a lea
whispering to the flowers...
I am the spring rain
finger painted sky
dotted star line above trees
as rain falls an owl calls
weeping on a lea
speaking in sotto voce
I am the spring rain...
whispering to the flowers
murmuring soft to the trees
Painting with words
speaking in colors
Palette of voices

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)
In the gentle morning glow,
Spring rain sighs on petals,
Sweetness in each drop,
Blossoms quiver with delight,
Nature's tender kiss unfolds.
cool, cold wet is this
new day, new week, new month this…
spring sprung pouring rain

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2024©
Eternal rainfall spring gardens suffer
Alluring snowdrops drowned in sea of mud
Water deluge cascading down gutter
Daffodils suffer because of the flood.
There is sadness about springtime quagmire
With noses pressed against wet window pane
Waterfall moment nothing to admire
Birds do not sing mellifluous refrain.
Weather forecast grim there is no bright spot
Expectations of spring completely bleak
Wait, silently sleeping "Forget-me-Knot"
Pretty blue flower that is quite unique.
Emotional quagmire Spring Garden dire
Thoughts have moved forward will summer inspire?
The spring rain The spring rain
man of mood chatterbox
coming hearing
going or not
push up moist
must sprout throws morning greetings.
people we pass get lost in scenes
shadowed by clouds endless dreams
outside conversations with rain
a cold april day again
spring brings another time
another rhythm another rhyme
puddles from on streets
water comes down in sheets
shadows of clouds veil
falling from the heavens a touch of hail
in every ending a time to begin
a change of weather a song in the wind
