Meaning of rain

by PS   Apr 16, 2006


Falling droplets; they say the gods cry.
but they are not the tears of a child lord
nor the weeping of a mourning goddess
that hateful resounding noise above
is not the anger of almighty Zeus

no, the heavens are not so sad
human punishment is not so anger filled
the gods laugh, not scorn
that rain is god's joke on sinful beings
spit not tears falls from the heavenly bodies
the gods bowl in lands of the divine. they laugh.

why cry when they reside in a world
where the days are intertwined
when they live in a painless paradise
so gods giggle and mock
the horrible race of man.

    Wow, what a different poem! I like the language used - it is complex and out of the ordinary. I also thought this was a very imaginative explanation for rain! (omg it just started pouring now lol) I liked the line's
    'why cry when they reside in a world
    where the days are intertwined
    when they live in a painless paradise' Cause it's a bit different from the rset of the poem and it' s a really good description. This is a really creative write, well done. :)
