Gentle Summer Rain

She writes about Fall's beauty in the rain The falling raindrops' dance ascribing thence Bespoken verse that lightens her refrain before the time they met - her steps commence. She listens to the soft and rhythmic thrum, her love turned to escape and cloudy string Where nimbus mistletoe fell, tears to become Their kiss of Autumn was symbolic ring. The first light cotton mists with summer rays While skyward cheerful laughs adorn the land, their ceremonial dance diffuses grays, affectionate embrace, where dreams expand. Upon September's sky the raindrops gleam With half of hidden Sun to laugh and beam. --------- 8-29-13

This is a great nature sonnet, Linda. Flows so well with the perfect rhyme and meter. I love the imagery which could so easily be seen and felt. Wonderful, my friend.... Robert.

A perfect sonnet in both rhyme and meter that tells a wonderful story. The only suggestion I would make is to replace "and " with another word as it is only a filler word. I would suggest "while'.

I love to walk in the summer rain especially at night along the shore, When i was young it seems like a life time ago, i'd sit on a log and walk the fish come out of the water just for a split second and than dive below it's true during rain storms you could watch them do this it was cool cheri

I read several of yours (just now) and, though I see the power in your words, I feel unworthy, due to lack of true poetic understanding, to comment. This one is simple and lovely.

"Till you I never saw the sunset on Biscayne -- Till you I never heard a gentle summer rain." -- This phrase from "Till You" was brought to mind. You have captured the essence of the beauty of just listening.... Love ya .... Jake
