Facets of Rain

by Lonely Little Dreamer   Aug 20, 2007


Sprinkles of sorrow leak from puffy clouds,
As the sky turns to a tinted blue gray.
Salty like tears as they fall upon a nameless face,
Blending into the sadness that one feels.

Sprinkles now turn into dancing droplets,
Lifting the spirits of the ones on the surface.
The water brings life to all it touches.
Refreshing as the light of a new day.

Thunder rolls in as the wind blows harshly,
Spitting rain drops made of glass shards.
Angry and unruly, pruning the already dead and decayed.
Making the new life strong with every gust.

Soon the storm passes leaving a light tasting mist.
Sparkling; as the sun bounces from each crystalline drop.
Another day reveals itself at the end of a color filled rainbow,
Awaiting the next life altering storm.

    I think my phavourite thing about this poem was that you put it under the category ov 'poems about liphe'. (Man I wish my keyboard wasn't broken. I really need the letter 'eph' phor that word.) Anyway, I read it once, and I thought that maybe you had accidentally stuck it under the wrong category, because I tend to avoid commenting on the poems about nature or anything like that. I personally, as a reader and a writer, lean toward the emotional side ov things, and I don't quite phind it as easy to get lost in a poem about something that I can see everyday outside my window. Though, your poem was so much more than just the storm. It had the pheeling that I like to read, and it was relateable to anybody. Happy or sad, in love or heartbroken, this poem was about the rain coming phor the bad and the good.... Now that that's been said, I really hope that I took phrom this poem everything I should've. The meaning did seem quite simple and easy to read, but I've made mistakes bephore.
    I don't have much to say about it, as it was a nice and easy read; but part ov me misses the rhythm you held in your other work. Your use ov words and imagery still amazes me though, and I can only give you kudos once again.
    I wish I could give you more constructive criticism, but I like your writing. Keep it up!
