Hearing the rain reminds me of nights stayed in,
There was always something soothing about the wind;
The house shaking with every blowing gale,
The lights would blink, the lights would fail;
An extra blanket may be needed, it's bound to get cold,
Holding the covers tight, the heat I must hold;
The winds and rain violently crashing against the glass,
Each and every gust so much different than the last;
Whipping at the window no pattern to the mist,
Sometimes the sounds would allow me to drift;
I lie in bed staring at the ceiling,
The storm outside sometimes defines how I'm feeling;
As the rain pours down I get lost in my thoughts,
I recall the memories I had almost forgot;
Nowhere to be and nowhere to go,
Whistling of the wind as it continues to blow;
Tonight I’ll curl up to the howling pitter patters,
For now at least nothing else matters.

So you’re a pun enthusiast, eh? We’ll I have a degree in punology, my friend. So you show me yours and I’ll show you mine. Do you know why a tree is a better pet than a dog? The bark won’t wake up the neighbors. You’re up.
I’m very fond of poems written in couplets. Your rhymes flow well… they don’t feel forced.
Your blog is well designed. I am a little disconcerted, however, to see that I also follow every blog you have in your “blogs I follow” list. Perhaps a case for the X-Files?
Love It!!! Enjoyed Reading It!!!
