And it rains
Thomas W Case said:
This grips the soul with relentless storm and unflinching grief—each line a drumbeat of sorrow.
Your rain is both hammer and hymn, gritty, honest, and impossible to look away from.

Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem revolves around the overwhelming nature of despair and the metaphorical representation of rain as a symbol of sorrow and struggle. The poet focuses on themes of emotional turmoil, the sense of being engulfed by circumstances beyond control, and a longing for hope and divine intervention. The repetition of the phrase \"And it rains\" emphasizes the relentless nature of these feelings, suggesting a continuous cycle of despair.

Good write SB. It made me think of God in the storm, and lines of a hymn: \'His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm\'. Sounds fearful, but \'fear\' meaning \'awe, reverence, respect, etc\', not terror.

This is a very powerful poem about perspective. I myself haven’t seen the movie but that is now on my must watch list. You conveyed the anger perfectly while also acknowledging that people can stain your perspective. That’s something I think we all ought to know, we often fall under people’s views and opinions which influences our own attitude about the situation. Amazing poetry Soren.

They can dress it up as much as they want, but murder is murder.
Any fool can pull a gun, and it seems now they have carte blanche to shoot on sight.

Soren, this hits like a siren. The immediacy, the noise, the moral whiplash…it’s unsettling in the way it should be. There’s no safe distance here, and that’s the point. Another fantabulous poem, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Friendship said:
During the weekend, I had an interesting conversation with someone regarding an incident that occurred in Minnesota involving the shooting of an agent, and the conversation transitioned into a description of a movie that aligns with the theme \'Misleading to the Naked Eye\', which is also my understanding of the film. The film Rashomon, directed by Akira Kurosawa, presents a murder from four distinct perspectives, each disparate, leaving the viewer to discern the truth. This phenomenon impacts eyewitness accounts, which are influenced not by deception or varied vantage points but by individual preconceptions, illustrating that perception is subjective.

Indeed, when we look around us we see the transience of nature in plants, humans and animals. Everything goes in a cycle. Shadows fade; the breeze does not last; there is reproduction, new life; the old one fades away.

Good write SB. I can\'t SEE why KP complains, cos I SEE a pile of sewage and says \'That\'ll make a nice dinner - or ten - for her\'. When she SEES it she says \' Oh no, not sewage again\', and I reply \'But you\'ve only had it 20 times this week, dear!\' lol. It\'s a \'orrible marriage!

Your poem explores the ephemeral beauty and magic of fireflies as they navigate through the night. It captures the essence of fleeting moments and the gentle transition from night to day, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. Nicely written, Soren

I got the feeling this firefly is actually metaphor for someone you love, how incredibly beautiful and may I say, how soothing this was to read. 🌹

What an amazing poem Soren! Fireflies really are such amazing creatures. Back in the Midwest we used to catch them in jars and use them as a lantern. We only had them there for a while or so and then we would watch as the lights would float away. Great imagery and you captured a firefly perfectly.

The journey of the firefly, maybe evoking memories of yourself.
Nature at work never ceases to amaze, and to think the show is free.
What more can you ask for.
