Rain hear my cry
Rain grace my land
Rain reach my ears
Rain touch my hand

Rain loose your wrath
Rain open your door
Rain drench my back
Rain let it pour

Rain cease this ache
Rain quench my thirst
Rain end this sorrow
Rain stop this curse

Rain I hear you
Rain come close
Rain overhead
Rain like a ghost

Rain in the evening
Rain in my sight
Rain in the morning
Rain in the night

Rain never stopping
Rain always pounding
Rain beating hard
Rain so surrounding

Rain on the fields
Rain on the steer
Rain at my doorstep
Rain finally here

I love to write about nature and how it affects people. Tell me how well it flows and if you can feel the emotion in it.

I love how the rhythm is so perfect that it sort of sounds like the rhythmic patter of rain, though you might not have realized it. :) awesome job! I absolutely love nature too, and every one of my poems are based on nature. keep writing!
