The Rain

Posted on April 18, 2010 by Raivenne

I
like
the
feel of
the rain
upon my face.
A thousand drops
of water from outer
space. Everyone says
I’m just getting wet. To me
it is the best feeling I have
come across yet. Falling
just hard enough to
be felt; caressing me
with its gentle
pelt.

That’s so creative to write your poem in the shape of a rain drop. Great imagery too.

Great poem. The line breaks really work. A lot of times shape poems seem forced into the form.

Love the image of the rain as a pelt–and the well-shaped drop it was delivered in. Very nice.

This shape is inventive and harnesses the strength of the words it really works – love its relevant allusion….really enjoyed this poem

Sometimes words just “drop” unto the page and take shape. This was one of them.

* giggles * @ Coalbalck – I knew someone was going to hum that tune.;)

Thanks to all, for your wonderful comments.
