A poem about rain...

by Sam Harty

By ᔕᗩᗰ ᕼᗩᖇTYPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 3 min read

There's nothing like a nice little innocent poem about the rain, is there? ;)

it’s raining..

    today when i awoke

i heard it raining

    outside my door

        but this time

           there is no soft mist

there’s no need to strain to listen

                         as the street is well used

                  over and over

           again and again

                 unmerciful tires

                         creating a multitude

                              of indentions

                               against earth’s

                    very grain

                       i close my eyes

                     once again

                                 acute

                            but today

                                  there is

                                      no hiss

                               only the sounds

                                           of slapping

                                 against the wetness

                          and i imagined

                     each drop

                        falling individually

                                yet joining together

                                           in a type of unison

                                                     lashing against

                                          a hard surface

                                                   repeatedly

                                       makes it pliant

                                                 so surely the rain

                                    is a master at re-molding

                                              the hardest of surfaces

                                   today when i awoke

                                              i heard the rain

                             and i finally understood

                                               all the sounds of

                                                              it’s refrain.

    Oh wow, this is one of the best poems I´ve read of yours, truly.

    One drop is so innocent, the multitude a flood that will move mountains. Love your formatting like the different falling drops hit the earth in unlike tempo.

  • Oooo, I especially loved the formatting of your poem!

    I love those lines about indentations on earth's very grain. Really resonated for me and the idea that it can transform, remould.
