Rain

by Joan Serratelli

It's raining
I can hear
the thunder
It's unnerving
I'm not scared
but at the same time
I'm feel
like my body
is like the weather;
stormy I don't like

I suddenly
have the feeling
that something is admiss

My mood, like the storm
will pass
Will things every be
nornal again

Is the storn
some kind of omen?

I don't know

It's hard

I don't like
rain

I want to scream
I cannot

It's hard to be
alone

...eerie, but sorta delightful eerie, rain has a calming effect on me, i get winsome...nearly lonely...great touching write, joan.

The voice in this seems to get more and more quiet as it goes on. That's a disconcerting, but fantastic affect to leave within this.

I've noticed it's impossible to ignore the rain and I agree it really makes for some fine introspection.

I agree with Gabe. The voice in this poem seems to lessen as the rain increases. And knowing what side of the country you live in, Joan, and being prey to the same short savage storms, I say I know how you feel. Well-rendered here!
