This is unfinished, any suggestions or improvements would be really helpful as I haven't read alot lately and it's taking it's toll. I don't like the title either, but it's the best I could do.


Warm, cool, summer rain, sliding down
my goosebump skin, pushing knots from
my hair and congealing it, into
a matt that lies heavy on my cold
shoulders.

I feel alive.

Shivers push the tension
down my spine and
I begin to walk, slowly,
like an unsure pinocchio.

The surface stirs my toes to life, and
in turn they nudge my ankles, so I lift
a foot again to meet the film of
liquid glass.

It breaks like
a torrent, but smooth,
as if the tears had
grown sweet in the night
to soften this blow.

well i dont think you have lost your touch! it was a great poem to read. some wonderful imagery in there, agree the title could be changed to reflect the poem a bit more though - perhaps 'summer rain'?
