Dark Rain
by Mervin H. Dochterman
copyright 10-28-2004

Age Rating: 10 to 127

Picture Credits: By Nancy Pawley

Dark Rain
Sheets of dark rain washed my bedroom window pane.
I rolled slowly to the side of my bed.
All the chores to do today would have to stay that way.
This will last through the day ah but that’s ok.
Peering out my window feeling less responsible the world would have to wait.
Day like today carried that weight away.
Like magic the sky would light up.
For a long moment tangled limbs of the bare oaks silhouette on a slate blue sky.
The dark rain ran down my pane.
It would start far off then roll across the dark world end with a rattle in the glass.
Then just the dark rain wetting my window pane.
Just for today let it stay this way.
Not to be I fear, sliver of sun light breaks the spell.
Romance with the dark rain now, would only fill my well.

I love rainy days, and how lazy it can make you feel. This is a beautiful work...your have such a different, yet entrancing style of writing.

Dark rain running down a window pane, that image brings back memories of all the times I leaned my forehead against the cool glass and watched a rainstorm pass through. I now do the same thing sitting on the porch instead. There is just something so atavistically primeval about a rainstorm that attracts as much as it can repel with fear...a very evocative poem.

Great job and cool picture! You repeated the word "pane" a few times and for some reason I kept picturing "pain", weird. Well, there... I've read all your work. I really hope to see your comments on some of mine soon for I can not improve without the suggestions, comments, and critique of my peers.

Take care,

BrytEyz

*blinks* I loved it. I am too a fan of the darkend rain. The cool winds, and more so the light that stains the sky. Great job.
