A Lonely Rain

In the steady stillness of rain,
I sit and stare,
solitary, yet for the sudden
Sound of splashing
beneath my window.

Silently I watch,
steadily I wait.
alone I sit
by the window.

As the clouds storm
fury and fear,
my tears slide in unison
with the sky's above
onto my window.

Sighing, I gaze out,
trembling, I muse.
alone I sit
by the window.

Favorite Quote:
A room without a book is like a body without a soul.

You definetly have a great imagination, with an air that makes us beleive we are in the place of the poem, experiencing what is happening for ourselves. Dude, you have gotta make a club or SOMETHING! You're getting to many fans!

Lol thanks! The narrator is definitely not angry, though, which differs from some of my other poems - she's more sad and upset, and, of course, alone. I'm glad I seem "cool;" I never thought I would manage to convey that image merely in writing.



Thanks all of you guys for commenting - it means so much to me! :D

I thank you for your comment and did take up and read your poem. I enjoyed it, feeling the emotion and the visual that it created. Very well written.

oh, thanks! that means so much to me - I have always been an avid reader of Poe's work; he is by far my favorite poet.

I'm glad that I manage to convey the feeling of melancholy that the narrator, so to speak, is feeling.

Thanks! I used alliteration to make it sound like splashes of rain. I wanted to give a clear image of the setting - the rain, the window, the clouds.

It's a universal poem - it can be about anyone, anytime, anywhere.

I'm glad I managed to convey the mood...

thank you! :D

I like how the last word of each stanza is "window" and I like the type of poem. It is emotional and you feel the mood, unlike some poems, that do not have any feeling in them. The poem is also realistic.
