Indeed, beautifully worded.. I too, pity them, who damn God!

Yupp, i love the rain even if its sound were to make me depressed at times. However, it allows me to sleep the best. And also for the very same reasons that were mentioned in this piece. Without rain, we wouldn't have water to drink and the place will be desertic. And hence, we do have oxygen since the water feeds the trees and in turn they give us oxygen... So it's a cycle... We need everything even the sun.. It reminded me also that we also need sadness and happiness, as strange as this might sound but we need almost everything :-s

Downpour, if it wasn't for the title and the section that is placed... I would have thought that you were talking to a lover. Lol

Because that's how this poem sounded and I am sure that that was what you aimed at. Well done

Well done.

I love the strength in this poem, it was a joy to read! I feel the same about the rain....I feel like so many connections can be made with it, that I am somehow reflected in it at times. You take so many points and aspects felt by many other people yet still stay lifted in your belief that a downpour is like a lover to you. Magnificently worded- "eccentric" and "felicity" really caught me and I love how despite all that the rain can bring (destruction, sadness, delays), it is still something to be cherished and admired by everyone.

Wonderful write :) Keep it up!

Oh my worrrdddd! I love this poem!! Your first stanza was soooo powerful. Loved that you were comparing and contrasting. It really drew me in.

I pity those who refuse to acknowledge your majesty;

^ what a remarkably sweet statement to make. I am so inawe of just that line...it melted my heart a bit I must say.

My beautifuk downpour

^ I love that you took downpour and turned it into a love poem where others would use rain as depressing. This made your poem unique and so precious. I loved it!

Everything felt so great, actually, until I reached the final stanza. It went flat and actually destroyed for me the natural feeling inside me.

I think if the last stanza is omitted (and the last two lines are left), it would be much better. IMO, of course, for it sounds non-poetical at all.

Yet, overall, I liked the anonymity of the first part... actually never thought it would be about water... so that is great from you.

Lovely!

I am a huge Nature freak....... love to write it and read it.. You have penned a beautiful love poem about rain.. the madness of rain and just a beautiful word display ....sighs.... this was a gorgeous piece!!

This is such a beautifully written piece.

At first I thought you had written this about a lover - even with the title it could work.
But instead it seems that you have personified the rain and managed to capture its multi-layers of elements and the feelings that people have towards it.
Personally, I love the rain. It's just one small part of our world as a whole that is extraordinary.

Also, I love the terminology you used to describe this... sensational.

5/5 and a well deserved nomination. (:

When i started reading this poem i looked at the category twice. you can easily get confuse. i can't pick a favorite line because i love it all. and i feel the same way about the rain. i love love rain. and i really really like your poem. too strong and deep to be speaking about rain. 5/5

Wasn't my favorite but it wasn't bad. Didn't really know what you were talking about until you said what it was. Other than that It wasn't a bad read. 4/5

This is beautifully-penned, Stephen. The personification of rain has been done a lot of times but youve used it as your own here. The calm, sincere tone you've used throughout works really well with the context of tbe piece.
Keep it up,
