THE RAIN
The rain turned the road into a river running downhill
She stared out of the rain lashed window leaning on the sill
She remembered another day being caught in the rain
Laughing together as they became drenched to the skin
Leaning out of the windows all the cars at a standstill
Bending forward towards each other as their lips met together
The warm wet liquid falling on their hair making them wetter and wetter
A moment in time that they couldn’t pass up because of the weather
A yellow daisy, a fleeting kiss, an eternal memory to treasure
A love to last, an unforgettable romantic gesture

  1. That's a very romantic scene both in image and poem. I like how the slant rhyme keeps the couplets from becoming sing-songy.

  6. I liked it a lot, the rhymes, half-rhymes, rhythms.
    The "all the cars at a standstill" and "A yellow daisy, a fleeting kiss." All makes for a very nice poetic encounter.
    Thanks, Randy
