Rain

Hear the pitter patter of rain falling,

hear the ceasing of birds calling.

Some find the sound seldom so,

filled with drear and weeping woe.

That of which I hear puts me in a trance,

because to me, rain is a beautiful dance.

I have read a lot of poetry in my life. I can say that I have two people in my life that have the ability to paint with a word. You my dear would be one of those two. Loved it. When I can see the imagery in a poem three minutes after I read it I am impressed. Loved the word choices. Appreciate your poetic voice. In all I think it is awesome.

Thank you for such kind words(: I was on the bus coming home from school when I read this review. I was smiling like an idiot and I think I scared the people sitting near me, haha. I love painting words because that's how I think it's easiest to perceive a poem. I understand poems by pulling apart words and imagining what's happening, and that's how most of my poems go. The imagination is a great tool to use when understanding poetry.

I agree with you! I love the sound of rain, so nice and tranquil. It helps me to sleep better. Very pretty way to put this.

The second line is a bit strange....I like the last two lines though. Those two are pretty...

I guess it's because when a storm comes around, you don't hear the birds anymore. They've all left and hid. Thanks for the review :3
