*~ Rainy Night Rhythms ~* *sitting on a porch* *deep in a wicker chair* *shallow thoughts running through my head* *days of floating in this wordless void* *empty thoughts vying to be seen* *instead locking me within a truth* *softly rain begins falling* *each drop a symphony of sound* *as it rhythmically hits a tin roof* *sometimes sounding like a sad song* *the kind that makes you want to write* *words with a slow beat and sad sighs* *other times sounds of love�s rhythms* *which sooth your soul and brings to mind* *slow dancing in the rain as night slips away* *the clock hands pass midnight* *when clarity seemingly has more power* *and thoughts make more sense* *after the witching hour* *problems pass through your mind* *mingling with creative spurts* *you let them all just float around* *not willing to focus or become alert* *as you glide into that soft place* *just before sleep takes you away* *that one perfect thought arrives* *how do you make it stay* *� 2005 by Carole Mathys*

Oh! How I love the rain
rain drops pelting on a tin roof
is the most romantic natiural setting.
just let the lightning and thunder
carry you away
into utopia.
A most beautiful write ...Carole

William .....Peace & Love

That is why I love it when it rains. In the city we don't hear the sound well when it rains, but whenever we go out of the city to the cottage, it's like another world, and whenever it rains, it is like magical...

Eddie Rabbit said it best, "I Love A Rainy Night." I've sat by the picture window many times watching and listening to the rain. Right before I take off my socks and go running through it. Absolutely loved this one.

Carole,
This is Beautiful and so flowing,
The rain does have so many emotions it stirs and brings.
Excellent and all so very true.
And an excellent question!
thank You so Much

Words with rain - to bring on sleep... but how do I bring my computer over to the couch, or to bed with me? Enjoyed this, and know exactly what you're saying. Good poetry, good writer. - Bill

Splendid write Carole...I think the secrect is to get those thoughts down straight away...I love the title too 'Rainy night Rhythms' has a cadence about it. It's rainning here at the moment and windy forcing my muse to get the umbrella out...ah to be stood 'neath a shower of words.
