Poem: Raindrops ( Post#2 ~~~ 06-29-06)

...a sad poem ...
(one of those days)

Raindrops


Raindrops fall, relentlessly!
The color in the day,
has vanished so completely-
been taken, clear, away.

Just one name I’ll give it.
Drab describes it well.
The day is wrapped in sorrow,
a dismal shade of pale.

Raindrops on the window
make ripples in my view;
distorting all I’m seeing-
cast in the darkest hue.

The world outside seems burdened,
bent down with all the rain;
the way my heart is heavy
and drowning with the pain.
