  April Rain Song

User Rating:

7.7 /10
(286 votes)



  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

Finding something remarkable in something that most people are despondent about, takes a remarkable person, and this is a remarkably charming work

I understand why someone would say that this poem is boring.. I like how he gives the rain physical characteristics

I think this poem sucks. It's so bland and unpassioate. It pretty much means nothing, it sounds like someone who is TRYING to be deep, and it didn't work at all. No depth, no emotion.
