    • Very excited and very grateful. My son Michael will be coming back to American soil in about 12 days I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and strength.

    Rain

    A dreary day.
    The sky so dark,
    The clouds so full.
    The air hangs as wet laundry on a rope clothesline.

    I wonder,
    Why is the sky so stubborn,
    So unwilling to give up her tears?
    All is very still.
    We hold our breath as one.
    Wait,
    Shh!
    The sky opens!
    Rain!

    I really liked the way you built up anticipation, and the question....Why the sky is so stubborn. Gosh, what a terrific description. Fun to read. Nice work!

    Nicely done. I enjoyed watching the rain falling outside my window as I read your poem. Good poem. TS

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
