Rain Parade

Cloudy skies
The sun dies

Gentle orchestra on my window
I have fallen far below

The moist, the tears
The parade in my ears

Are we finally sober?
Or are we sobbing?

Sliding down the glass
I swear, this is my last

Until the sun has risen
To silence my siren

This rain will drop
Sorrow won’t stop.

  1. Rain is one of my favorite events of nature! Lovely poem!

    1. Thank you! That’s beautiful! When I was younger, I used to go dancing in the rain all the time 🙂 <3

  2. I like the gentle orchestra line. Feels like a poem about loss, and grieving.

    1. Thank you!! It is a poem about grieving, sadness, and drinking it all away 🙁

  3. Beautiful poem, i love the line ‘the parade in my ears’. I picture myself against the window as the rain falls, perhaps recovering from a drunken argument with the use of ‘sober’ and ‘sobbing’. So much you could unravel with just a few of your lines, short and sharp but paint a vivid image of how it could connect with you. Good work!

    1. Thank you very much! And I absolutely love and appreciate your analysis of the piece! Thank you for taking the time to do that.

      1. No problem, i enjoy reading your work! I have to remember to make more time to catch up with my feed lol.

        1. Haha! Trust me it is super hard! It only took me 6 years before feeling like I’ve gotten a good routine that keeps me consistently checking my feed–6 years of trying to catch up but failing haha. But thank you for making the effort to show some love!
