Poetry
Rain
By B.D.
11 November 2006
Well, it was a rainy day and I was bored...I'd like to think that 'rain' has many meanings in this poem... but maybe I'm wrong

sunshine that once came through the curtains
suddenly faded to a shadow
I look outside and see the trees
swinging wildly with strong winds
the sky has darkened, clouds marched in
only minutes later do I hear pounding
I thought that this was just going to be
a very cloudy day, nothing more
rain abuses the pavement
that which waters the earth
also has the power to destroy it
the rain and wind weaken
you think it's over
it strengthens again
thunder joins up with the screeching wind
all that is needed is lightening
to provide us with very fine entertainment
and it's as if lightening knows
because he never comes
and it continues
and continues
and continues
nobody cares
rain has come many times before
and it will come many times again

well.. i liked the poem.. lots of metaphors.. my thing :grin ....  
 
on a different, but separate point.. the blue font hurts my eyes :eek .. i dunno maybe it's just the screen (i'm in a computer cafe) or just me. normal, black text is fine :grin  
 
but the poem's promising!
