Spring Rain

Enjoying the morning spring rain with my pups. Figured it was a good time to let everyone feel it to.

Rain on a tin roof

weather fills the day with gloom

goosebumps cover my arms

but i don't retreat inside

The rain brings me alive

awakens my senses

energizing deep breaths

invigorating smell of spring

the sounds encompass me

sounds so insistent

echoing through my ears.

making me feel oddly free

the rain starts to slow

snapping back to reality

cold rush through my fingertips

Its time for me to retreat.

Extraordinary. I love the use of your words. I love rains, your narration makes me love it even more. Good work in waking up my senses to feel the beauty and it makes me think of millions of happening in my life that I can use this as a metaphor. I love the last line.
Like I am making myself immune to all of the things so I can never be affected again when it hits me back again. Thank you for writing.

Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed this as much as I did. I love the rain, and it really does awaken all of my senses and make me just enjoy the nature that surrounds me.

you do capture a rain quite well. i think i know "oddly free" and i enjoy thinking these thoughts with you. thanks.

The refreshing birth of life a spring rain brings is echoed in your words here. I wonder if the first line of the second stanza might read "brings me life" or "makes me alive" An excellent read to an excellent write.

I really related to this. not so much the sense that I love the rain (because I don't) but because I find calm and beauty in situations most people run away from. Maybe because there not there.

I don't usually love the rain either, but its just something about that first warm spring rain after a long cold winter. thanks for your review!

A nice and easy read. I really liked the atmosphere of it: soothing, refreshing and you did a great job capturing the picture.

Thanks for sharing!

I've always been a weather fanatic, so while most of my friends hate thunderstorms, I love them! Rain, even when it is just a light sprinkle, has an energy to it that is most definitely different than that of a clear, sunny day, that's for sure! I really enjoyed reading this poem. Keep up the great work! :)
