Rain
January 4, 2009
Rain
A substance hard to describe.
You cannot scent a candle like it.
Nor can grasp it in your hand and feel it.
Slapping the ground like it has something to be mad about.
Smacking umbrellas like their in it's way.
Smell like new refrigerator,
And touch like liquid silk.
Sound like a million, tiny elephants running across a palm.

Thanks so much for all of the comments! I wrote this long time ago so I think I could have made it better, but as it was my first article on teenink, It's probably the one I'm proudest of. :) look forward to reading work from all of you! ~sofia~

I liked this poem. I liked how it made you think of such a simple concept as rain a little deeper.

I recommend that you listen to Enya "It's in the rain." Wonderful that you take the rare moments out of life and look at them. Good luck, love.
