April Rain Song - Poetry Friday

At it has been raining here for days and is expected to over the next several, I am posting a poem I found about rain.

Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night ---

And I love the rain.


Langston Hughes (1902-1967)
