Today's prompt is rain, and we were given a list of words we should try incorporate into our work. Those words are melancholy, drizzle, damp, rainbow, cloudy, grass and somber. I actually wrote 3 poems for this, and wasn't really satisfied until the 12th edit of the 3rd poem. And so, I share with you today's poem, and sincerely hope that you all get to experience a Kiss in the Rain.

a light drizzle falls
as we walk
hand in hand.
streetlights pale glow
cuts through the somber
dawn.
muted street sounds
keeps our path
tranquil.
damp shoes provide
no warmth to our feet,
but somehow that just
doesn’t matter.
a quiet shadow beckons,
I pull you into it’s depths.
wiping raindrops from your lips
no-one is witness
to an impassioned kiss.
soaked clothing provides
a cold barrier,
yet our romantic fervour
is heat enough.
a light drizzle falls,
but we are oblivious.
cloudy days provide
their own rainbow,
it only takes
a kiss in the rain
to see it.
Very sweet. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI like this. A very sweet and warm moment during a cold and rainy atmosphere. Three poems, today, huh? I applaud that. Writing a poem in one day (and a good one at that) is a challenge for me. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Today was an anomaly in that I got 3 pieces written. 2 of the 3 need major work, but I can keep them for future endeavors. :)
DeleteI've never seen a walk in the rain as this romantic. Makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you smiled! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI love this Rod. Especially "damp shoes provide/no warmth to our feet,/but somehow that just/doesn’t matter."
ReplyDeleteAnd you have been doing awesome in the challenge. I'm going to miss the challenge, but I now have new places to visit and read in the mornings.
Thanks so much for your feedback, Jessica! This challenge is getting harder, but my promise to myself was to make it through! It definitely is lighting a fire in me, renewing my passion for poetry.
DeleteLove the story and the feeling you wrote into the poem. Excellent job!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks a whole bunch, Cindy!!
DeleteWhat a beautiful, romantic poem! And you do the rain prompt justice here too. So much heart in your writing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Christine! I really appreciate your words, and your visit to my humble site!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this, I have a soft smile on my face. It reads like the sweetest romance.
ReplyDeleteSweetness and fire, fed by the rain and the shadows. Lovely. Captures the depth and passion perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI've had some wonderful kisses in the rain, with soaked clothes and bodies that cling...
This was a delicious way to start my writing day! I'm still smiling. =)
so beautiful! "cloudy days provide
ReplyDeletetheir own rainbow,
it only takes
a kiss in the rain
to see it." That is some food for thought. Loved it! :)
