Array ( [sid] => 80990 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => In the Rain [time] => 2005-01-22 12:59:18 [hometext] => This poem, like most of my others, just flowed out naturally. Basically I wanted to say something about the fact that the things that make us who we are, are also what can at times be painful. Inner strength and the world around you can lift you up. [bodytext] => You leave me here,
Out in the rain.
Leave my emotions bare,
I’m alone with my pain.
I have the upper hand.
I know myself too well.
I’ve become my own man
And there’s too much of me to tell.

How can you punish me?
I’ve suffered far too much
To feel an injury,
And so I’ve had to clutch
Onto a glimmer of hope,
Onto a glimmer of faith,
That after all I’d cope with
I wouldn’t be too late.

Would I miss life now?
Have you sealed my fate?
When you left me here
Would it be too late?
Could I live life before?
Have I lived even more?
Has your anger bettered me
In a way you cannot see?

I’ve been standing in the rain so long.
The feelings growing, now so strong.
You have no power in any form,
Or seen the beauty of this storm.
I’ve come to know the happiness
That comes from faith; its seeming bliss.
You haven’t come to know the rain
And the sunlight it brought to cleanse my pain.

The title drew me in as I love rain, of course.

I was not disappointed.
This seems to flow just as you've described and it's a quaint little poem.
I enjoyed it.

Lots of love and peace be with you,

Chelsea

great poem all in all but a bit too repetitious with the "onto a glimmer of" and too many questions in the third stanza. having them spaced out would have been better. but i loved the ending. and isnt it odd how i hate sunlight...

This was beautifully written Marc, I really enjoyed it. You have your own style in writing, as well as talent, keep it up. I think the repitition of 'on to a glimmer' was alright, you could have changed one of them to something else like "on to a shread" (just an ex.) The questions in the third stanza were alright too since you did it through out the whole stanza I think if you didn't put questionmarks though and left it as thoughts it would be more acceptable in essentially9's eyes.
The ending was excellent as usual.

Overall this was a wonderful piece.. I'm going to have to stop saying their my favorites cause everytime I read another one of your poems I fall in love.. so I'll just stick to saying Great work, and please, keep it up!
