Rain

Man, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love rain. And no I don't mean South Korean star, Rain:

Although I'm sure he has his own merits, but I mean the lovely downpour that is happening right now. It started up today and should continue the next couple of days and I couldn't be happier.

April Rain Song
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



The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency.
-Susan Allen Toth, England For All Seasons
