Rain makes its pitter-patter sound against the window Droplets roll down like teardrops and circle in a pool on the sill The sound gentle, relaxing Smoothing the rough edges of trying times Hypnotic and dreamlike
A grey sky is soon covered with night’s blanket of darkness Dousing the flames of fury and frustration that ruled the day The rain continues its steady downfall gently lulling me to sleep
I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose.
Thanks for checking it out.

There is something so calming about the gentle pitter-patter of the rain. I like the imagery in this and the balancing by nature of strong emotional feelings. I bet your dreams were very good after you fell asleep.

I do love to hear the rain falling whether softly or with thunder and lightning. We sure could use some around here. 🙂
