Rain

    Raindrops

    Raindrops float in a blanket of crystals,
    dancing to the winds forceful beat,
    Move the drops to another crowd,
    Quick to become a Winter sleet.
    Further beyond, it precipitates down,
    Leave nothing but a tropical drown.
    To Glisten in the sun, dropping as blue,
    Nothing more beautiful than this sapphire hue.
    ================================

    Just wrote this out of the blue to see what people think....haven't posted anything here before, so just checking opinion. Haven't written a poem before.

    sweet and simple I guess.


    How come "crystals"? Raindrops float in a blanket of ripples...?

    I suppose when "Rain" exists in the air, it floats as ice/water crystals....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,344 ✭✭✭red_bairn


    Ah! I thought you meant float in a pool. Bumping beside each other. Creating a ripple, a blanket of water together...ya know?

    Ya,.....well like I said I wrote this in 2 mins, it's probably crap anyhow. Mainly in response to out weather and the fact that the stuff I have read here is crap, so I thought this would be a breath of fresh air for once.

    Good of you to try and haul the standard up from the other "crap" that is posted here. Perhaps next time, spend a little more than two minutes on it and it may end up not quite so inane and poorly punctuated. I found your last reply arrogant in the extreme.

    Punctuation goes out the window for poetry, the form is part of the work.

    Can you elaborate on why it seems Inane? Constructive criticism is what you cannot offer.

    i thought it was an average attempt to be honest! id give it 2 out of 20.
    the 2 marks for the guts to go fo it . im docking the 18 for its complete lack of fealing . i belive all art should be given a mark! then we could weed out the 5hite and go straight to yeats!

    The 2 stands for the 2 minutes creating it then.
