Out the windowpane
Of my car I see,
Each hue diverge
By the tiny crystal-like droplets
Yes, rain is indeed;
A wonder
In every single way.
True beauty reflects in my eyes
The Iris contracts and
I see in those
Three seconds, a million lights
And their pigments fluxing
Ultraviolet, indigo, scarlet and blue
My favorites and all the rest.
With the night time stars
Shining ever so majestically above;
Yet I see and adore
Each car’s headlights, the city,
And the signals, red, amber
And green
They green monster is roaring up there, I think
As I see, yes see! Not watch.

I wrote this one about how sometimes these little things seem so much more beautiful to us even though we're surrounded by beauty....It's about how I look at the world sometimes.

No problem!!! Your work inspires me as usual :D and this happens to me all the time looking through the raindrops as if they are a porthole to a different world. So poetic :) Anyway, I didn't ally get the green monster line is it the car? I wasn't sure. And thank you for reading my work. I think that I tried to get notified whenever you do something, but it didn't work.

Wow Dua, I think this is perhaps my favorite by you. It is truly amazing and for me, completely relateable. See, I love rainy car-trips because all I do is sit and watch the world, no see the world as it truly is, with beauty and without. And your descriptions of the droplets were spot on, I mean they really were and the part about all the colors, god, I love when that happenes. Beautiful poem, from start to finish. I think you really conveyed your message. Also, its not just about the beauty of the rain, but the beauty of the world and how if you look close enough you can see that everything is beautiful. Wonderful, again. Ummmm, one more thing, could you look at something of mine that you haven't read. If you can't that is okay to because your work should not come with a cost :P Anyway, wonderful job Dua, Keep rockin

I've always wanted to go to London, and here all the the people talk and just stroll around!  I would like to go to Paris again and when it's pouring rain (Without lightning) I would like to go to the tippy top of the eiffel tower and soak it all up!  Plus if I remember correctly Paris has cobblestone streets, which I dig all the way!  And you're welcome! xD
