A Lonely Rain
February 28, 2009
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.

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

Great poem! It applies to a lot of different situations and makes you feel exactly like your there because everyone has been there at some point in their lives. (I know that you siad this in one of your comments, I just wanted you to know you're not alone in your thinking!) Wonderful job and thank you for your comments on my poems!

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.

I'm not sure why but "My tears slide in unison" gives great visual image,probably because it is great,poe would be proud
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.
