A good rain is priceless falling at
A slow deliberate pace spattering on
Yielding surfaces and welcomed by
All needing its liquid freshness to
Provide nature and human needs
The best rain comes past midnight
With all the tiny creatures dancing
Their numbers to old nature tunes
Water figures making entrance as
Raindrops flowering into dancers
At dawn a water ballet ends after
Solidly replenishing earth's needs
Allowing growing things to ripen
While soothing sleepers not awake
Sharing dancing raindrop at work
I love to listen to the rain at night.. and then wake to the freshness it leave behind. Just that wet splash is enough to put a smile on my face..) Wonderful piece here my friend..)

This is so soothing. I love rain. Bill, you've described the the sound so well. The best part of rain though is sleeping in, and if one is lucky enough, snuggling up. And then!... when the rain clears, it is as if the atmosphere had been washed away of all its detritus. I love rain. ~ Sara

Let it rain all night as it makes for music to sleep by. A very beautiful poem.

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
