"NICEST POST OF THE MONTH"
THE DAY IT RAINED
It was raining outside.
And the sky that was wide,
So large a part of it was turning navy blue,
Whereas the juicy clouds curtained the golden hue,
And showered those wet trees
That swayed at gentle breeze.
It was raining, but I,
At my chamber, was dry.
Through the steamy windows I saw the sloppy streets,
Where my ears were able to hear the cadent beats
That the hailstones did make,
Never to cease or break.
My senses were mingled,
And my body trembled.
And in the pockets of the coat I vainly wore,
I buried my weary hands, and against the door
A tight umbrella leant,
Useless- a virgin tent.
That afternoon it rained,
Though inside I remained.
Since I feared stepping on the slippery threshold
That was the first step into the external world.
Thus I was made remote
By the courage I sought.
Doors to open to rain,
And wet thresholds to drain
Wanted even a little, meager magnitude
Of simple courage, but it was incertitude
That kept me to my fears.
Now I'm sure after years.
Best Regards,
Ali Al-Majnooni

The Day It Rained
It is always a good thing to devote your weapon, here your pen, to help establish real peace on this Earth. I am sure we can make it. Am not I right?

Hi Francine,
Whether you like the poem is very important to me. I will be happy if it appeals to you.
Nevertheless, I am thirsty for Rain.
God be with you!
