Rain Poem by Jack Gilbert
Rain
Suddenly this defeat.
This rain.
The blues gone gray
And the browns gone gray
And yellow
A terrible amber.
In the cold streets
Your warm body.
In whatever room
Your warm body.
Among all the people
Your absence
The people who are always
Not you.
I have been easy with trees
Too long.
Too familiar with mountains.
Joy has been a habit.
Now
Suddenly
This rain.
Anonymous submission.
The people who are not you. In the absence of one who was loved, all that was once bright becomes dreary grey rain. Haunting.
it is hard to see things when it starts to pour down with rain, especially in a deluge?
It's very soulful, a must read poem especially when it's raining.
Well articulated and nicely brought forth with insight. A beautiful creation. Thanks for sharing.
Yes by now you know what I am going to say but... It is really tiresome that I and perhaps you cannot rate poems anymore because some messed up computer thingee can only respond to a vote by demanding we sign in again and again and again. Really getting tiresome. Neither can I track down the comments that notifications to my e-mail tell me about.
I like this poem. It is not just interesting - it has emotional impact as well and I got invested in it. I'd give it a 10 but you know by now why I can't... don't you?

I would like to translate this poem
