  April Rain Song

  Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
And I love the rain.

Langston Hughes

remind me of my childhood, the happyness of the rain

I understand why someone would say that this poem is boring.. I like how he gives the rain physical characteristics
  Hayley M.  (2/18/2009 6:24:00 PM)

I think this poem sucks. It's so bland and unpassioate. It pretty much means nothing, it sounds like someone who is TRYING to be deep, and it didn't work at all. No depth, no emotion.

This poem is so beautiful. It really is like a lullaby. He has such a way with words.

So deep, so relaxing... It's not one of those top of your head deals, you can tell he has to dig for this stuff...

Man, do we ever miss the sound of refreshing rain! Makes you think. LC

I like how you used metaphors. It's a really good poem...it doesn't sound like you just through something down. It actualy came from the heart. It makes me wonder what God's true purpose for rain was...


XOXO,
