A poem about rain...
by Sam Harty

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.
Amazing 🤩 loved the format of the lines!!
