Eraser, Just loved this one. No, there is nothing more soothing than the rain. It rained for the first time in two years, a couple of weeks ago. I went out and stood in it as if I had never felt it before. What a wonderful feeling. We live in the desert, and although the desert doesn't have an abundance of rain, we have been in a serious 4-year drought.When I was reading this poem, I began to relax. Thank you.I needed that.

cool poem, really like it :) like how you did that picture up there, hope I can learn how to do that.
take care...

i wished it could rain more here. I dont live in a desert like Glenna Marie, i live in one of the most populated areas in Australia, and we are having a drought. Great piece, i love rain so much, an Etude on its own.

Blimey, I like it. It rained in my loungroom this afternoon, but it hasn't rained in the kitchen for over two years, as Australia is currently in drought. I never venture into the bathroom without an umbrella, which is good advice for anyone visiting a public convenience. Your poem's a right balltearer. Cheers Eraser!

Cute, Sweet, Innocent, and fun. Excellent job of portraying the beauty and splendor of something as simple as the rain.

I like the atmosphere of the peom...and the way you used sounds to describe the rain!~~~~>O

Okay, so I'm loving the onomatopoeia you used to make the rain seem real. It was as if you could actually hear it hitting the roof or splashing on the sidewalk...
Where I live in North Carolina is experiencing super drought conditions right now [although possibly not as bad as what Australia is going through] and this poem is the closest I have gotten to the sound of rain in quite a long time.

Thank you so much for reminding me how relaxing the rain can be. We all need that sometimes. =)

Hey, Eraser "san". Do you remember me?
Anyway, nice poem. I enjoyed it a lot.

Posted: Nov 19, 2007

Nice!! Makes me think of the BIG drops just before a thunderstorm. I like it. Smooth across one's mind.

Rain is a beautiful thing. I wrote something about it called The Rain Fell, and perhaps you'd like to come and comment? Nice poem, keep up the good work!

When it rains like taht in Caracas i like to be at home in order to enjoy the rain as I enjoyed your poem.

Posted: Dec 17, 2007

Nothing can beat the rain!
In my opinion, its the most beautiful thing.
Snow comes after that, but snow is cold.
XD
Very nice poem.

Posted: Dec 18, 2007

I like how the poem itself, visually, looks a bit like a rain drop. Well done!

Posted: Dec 19, 2007

I liked this. Could feel the rain.

Posted: Dec 27, 2007

Very expressive
Liked the simplicity and the way the text seems to measure out the raindrops one by one.
Nice one!

Can't find the words to say how great i think this poem is.

Hi Eraser,

I love the poem and actually felt as though one of those almost audible plops was carrying me away in it's puddle! I live in Ireland where it rains all the time but I don't think I'll hate it as much today ;-)

Posted: Jan 15, 2008

well sweetie. i agree with you. there is nothing more soothing then the sound of the rain, or the feel of it against your skin. i love your style, i felt almost as if i could feel the rain and hear it against my window. goodjob. keep up the good work. (:

What a perfect description! I love listening to the rain!

Posted: Jan 16, 2008

Not bad for a summer time, no other season needs this rain drops, the summeer we are all in.

Posted: Jan 21, 2008

o,i like the quiet, gentle, wonderness of the poem.

Indeed, there is nothing more soothing than rain. Especially because I live in a very dry place. :)

The rhythm of this poem so brilliantly mimics rain falling, that steady, tapping rain. My mother used to look out the window and sigh, "It's down for the day."
She could tell by looking at the sky and the quality of the rain coming down. Of course, she was Irish! Who knows rain better! Lovely poem!

Rain is so very calming. Excellent poem.

Posted: Mar 24, 2008

I enjoyed reading this poem. It reminded me of how no matter how bad my day just listening to the rain washes every bad thought away.

Posted: May 6, 2008

I liked this! I just love your perfect description of the rain! It's raining where I am right now, and I agree that there is nothing more peaceful and soothing.

Stephanee :)

I can feel raindrops on my skin, that was lovely!

Posted: May 30, 2008

This is a great poem. As you can tell from my *Rainfall* poem, I love the rain. As I was reading this, I could almost hear rain. Good job. :)

Posted: Jun 16, 2008

wow. usually i'm not big on poetry (mainly because the school takes the fun out of it) but that was a really great poem. I love the rain,too. lol :)

Posted: Jun 18, 2008

Thanks for welcoming me!! And I really enjoyed this poem, it's very fun. Makes me want to curl up with some hot chocolate and just watch the rain tapping against the window, great job!

Posted: Jul 11, 2008

Very nice poem! You could transmit the sounds as well as the "image" in it.

Posted: Aug 6, 2008

Very cool. It tickles the sense of sound with a brilliant use of onomatopoeias. Plus, it creates a stream of water visually, like rain flowing down the street. I love the sound of rain and to be in it, especially for kissing and running.

Posted: Aug 8, 2008

I enjoyed that. It really shows how the slightest touch can have the most effect. Very nicely written. It has a playful sort of feel, and it fits the topic well. Nicely done Eraser, I'm keeping an eye on you.
