    Poem Commentary

    As you've probably noticed, many of my poems play off of each other. This one and Rainy Night are sister pieces of a sort. Enjoy:)

    Gentle Rain

     I close my eyes and think
    "I hope it won't rain"
    But I hear it coming
    Soon it's raining again

    I know rain is a good thing
    It brings life to my world
    But I wish it wouldn't come
    When I'm so unfurled

    It rains when it's unneeded
    And never when I want
    It's almost spiteful to me
    So soft yet so very blunt

    The thunder crashes now
    Lightning in the air
    With it's bright glowing light,
    Nothing does it spare

    The storm calms now
    Sound slowly dies away
    The skies are changing
    Recovering from the gray

    The storm becomes lighter
    And I feel something within
    There was never rain outside
    I just stopped crying again...
