Poetry about rain, an ingenuity of the natural world. Beautiful nature poems about how rain nourishes the earth and provides life. Also poems about the power of rain, and how too much of it can negatively impact our lives.
When The Small Rivers Overflow
In the deep little valley i live
centered within mountain hills
in winter the rivers flow
the flood brings lethal chill
The winters are no more boon
the summers too; no less heat
seasons frequently do overlap
they can, even in one day meet
An eerie area, an oddity spot
where today's sheep is morrow's wolf
and the morning is sunny and hot
the ev'ning turns cold like tomb
When morning is sweaty and dull
the afternoon is stormy and...

Window Writing (a sonnet)
Her thoughts chasse' as she begins to write.
The heavy clouds create pillowing forms.
Inked prose seen only with the candlelight,
O' springtime evening bringing her sweet storms.
A whip-poor-will's enduring twilight song,
Fresh lilac tantalizing every word.
This conquest of her vision has been long.
Does rain bring presence begging to be heard?
My parchment strewn from gales, now raindrop skimmed.
Behold, the brilliance of a lightning arch!
Deep rest calls, the beeswax stick becomes dimmed,
Silent verses to slumber in the...

Infamous colorless raincoat
Left with someone
in unison steps,
Silhouettes merged at nightfall...
colorless like your raincoat.
Echoes of shared laughter,
common memories,
fade into mist of a time that runs away.
Walk now in chosen solitude,
a return, a secret under lock and key.
The horizon keeps its silence
and the wind whispers stories with no dates.
He took with him secrets and silences
and the promise of a return that fades away.
In his chest he carries the weight of never,
and in the soul, the mark of a...

and i drank from that stream
how such
clouds became
headstrong,
but i
heard it
wasn't personal,
somehow
things still
looked lost,
but, the
rage sounded
elegant,
the storm
ran across
the land,
i took
its ambition
very seriously,
but now
we have
made peace,
i listened
to
the waters
crash onto
the banks,
and i
knelt down
beside
and i
drank from
that stream.

be strong (endure)
be strong,
enough
for yourself
little flower
to endure
the heaviness
of storms,
do not
let
the rain
dissolve
your dreams
of
one day
blooming,
letting
the world
accept your
individual
and unique
beauty.

Somber Season
Notice her skeletal hand
As she tugs the wine soaked curtains
See her dirty nails….
…..Or what’s left of them
For they’ve been chewed to the cuticle
I think she gave up long ago
When the seasons soured, she often wonders what went wrong
The renewal of spring, the sunny kiss of summer, the crimson and carmine of autumn, and winter’s pearlescent days
She never liked the cold, it consumed what little warmth was left
But there were angels in the snow, and that was enough for her
Four seasons have dissolved into a muddy river ...

Do You Want To Get It On?
After they got themselves out of the
rain, Brad lit a match to start a
fire before he saw Claire getting naked and
asking "Do you want to get it on?"

Rain's Sorrow
Petals were puckered.
Drooping with fat drops of rain.
Sorrow drenched mind's bloom.

counting
i enjoy
these
late hours,
i am
sprawled
out and
loitering
on my
nearby lawn,
face up
and looking
toward heaven,
counting stars
as wishes,
and then
a rain
shower
appears,
i lay
there
on the
wet grass,
looking up
and counting
raindrops.

approaching storm
i heard
another
approaching
storm
this morning,
the thunder
calling,
the clouds
refilled,
the wind's
conversation
like
swinging arms,
and i
stand at
the edge,
waiting
expecting.

Rain
On the echoes of a messenger's voice sings of Heavenly bequeathed love
Peace and war in the masterplan always proclaimed from the hands above
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death
Archangel Michael and Archangel Gabriel’s welding sword
Harken unto the cry of the horn
The highest Cherub entwined divinity
Asunder to the earth
Carnage upon the soil with one third of Heaven to deceive in its reborn
On the echoes of a messenger's voice sings of Heavenly bequeathed love
Peace and war in the masterplan...
