Downcast In the Rain

Rain drops fall fast, like flying frond, Creating ripples in the pond, It's pouring hard, just as forecast, I watch the showers spill steadfast, Like waters gushing from beyond... Spurred on by rain, new life has spawned, Buzzing and croaking night has dawned, The sky remains dark, overcast, Rain drops fall fast... With the rain, my tears correspond, Thinking of you and our dream bond, Your death has still left me aghast, Never have I felt so downcast, Ignoring my slough of despond, Rain drops fall fast... 11/03/17

Beautiful and melancholy write, Jo, and well-deserved to be at the top of the "Best New Poem" list ... congrats, my friend! If this is written from experience I am heartily sorry for your loss ... pain is the price we pay for love - of any kind - and the deeper the love, the sharper the edge of that blade, yet without that payment it would be worthless. Those holes in our hearts are the proof of how precious that love was. Blessings and comfort, Friend.

WoW! Jo, I see why you're in the top spot. I found it to be sad yet beautiful. Good imagery and content. The last five lines sumes this piece up very well. You described how one feels after losing a loved one with poetic flare. Excellent job-Alexis

I found this on 'Best New Poems' and, boy, do I concur, further it should be moved to permanently stay under "Best Poems." The emotion spills with the rain drops as both seep under the reader's skin and into their heart. Beautifully and sadly touching, Jo. (fiction, I'm hoping) Hugs ... CayCay

Beautiful, poignant. Inasmuch as I love watching rain this would be most difficult after the death of a loved one.
