What is it that hits me so many times.


Poem Artwork

I am never bruised

though beaten 

not once but many times

some evenings.

Blows that flay me

at twenty miles per hour

yet not one hurts

they are so soft

so gentle

just raindrops

falling from the heavens.

But when they turn to sleet they can become quite stinging.

Enjoyed your gentle depiction of falling rain.

Raindrops keep falling on my head, but I'm not dead--yet.
