Poets United's prompt this week is # 67 Rain. It rained today, I felt better, less pressure in my head.
Rain, so many kinds, the needed kind, the sad rain that ruins an event, the happy kind you sing and dance in, and the passion filled thunderstorm. I know there is the scary kind of torrential hurricane type, etc.
I am going to add some music that I think portrays the mood of some types of rain.(gentle and welcomed)
Having issues putting up another video so check it out here 2CELLOS ( this is the hurried rain)
Aren't they amazing! I want to learn how to play the Cello, now ;D My parents convinced me to play clarinet. I wanted the drums, but I ended up playing the guitar.
Rain
pressure builds in torrents
current underlies impact
alters time, distracts
endless curtain lifts
darkness filters in
bolts light up the stage
cymbals boom
crashing and shaking one's stance
impact strikes
sparks fly
passion erodes mood
performance breathtaking
uplifting a wave of hope
nature's rhythm amplified
the universal language
freshness falls in the wind section
cleanses soul
we begin again
till the next climatic concert
strings wail
Bravo!
(a standing ovation)
as those run for cover

Hank-Thank you, I do love all kinds of concerts :D Can't wait to read what you came up with!
Stephen-ooh, great idea! The sound has this soulful haunting tone. I love it! I figure if I can play one string instrument, there is hope :D
I love the rain too, but not the type that leaves horrendous floods for everyone. Just the gentle, soft kind.
Lovely prose.
"freshness falls in the wind section
cleanses soul

Beautiful.
loved the last line, adds a bit of humor. :)
Wonderful rain ~
