When It Rains

When it rains, true feelings come to terms with the self told lies and the deception.
As time slows down, and the dripping world whispers a song quietly into the victims' ear.
Winds howl in ways somewhat hypnotic, it takes away the anguish as it soars through the air.
Lightning creates calming lights for the ones afraid of the night.
Thunder accompanies the awkward silences to make them comfortable.
Havoc rages for some, for others, the storm is a companion.

Re: When It Rains

I wish some of these things would happen to me when a thunder storm came my way. I just get paranoid. This is a pretty good entry since this area is new to you, the Nature section. You kept your "Rain" elements, the way it sounds, wrapped around a force of nature, I thought it was a good touch. If that wasn't your intention... it's nonetheless a good entry.

Good, good.

It sounds possessive, therefore it need an apostrophe: victim's = one ; victims' = more than one.

Re: When It Rains

The longer lines are unexpected, coming from you, but I really like the effect. Personally, I'm a huge fan of long-lined poetry, so I was drawn in right away. ^_^ Great images and language throughout, and overall just a very smooth, lyrical piece. Only one thing bugged me:

There's nothing technically wrong with it (and this may just be me), but I find "the storm gives them a companion" a little awkward. Extra pronouns floating around are always a drag, especially when they could be so easily eliminated. Maybe "the storm is a companion"? ENTIRELY up to you though, this is purely opinion with nothing to back it up. ^_^

That being said ^_^ I really enjoyed this piece. Way to branch out and try new things, the result was fantastic.

Re: When It Rains

Oooooohhhhhhhh!

That's all I've got to say. Wonderful work! Calmed this jittery boy down so well I felt like I was lying in a hammock in the woods.

As RENA would say, 5/5.

Re: When It Rains

I agree, your vocabulary selection is fresh here, and the piece really has a feeling of unity... like you took an idea and selected the perfect words to tell the story, carry the feeling through. Parts are like the calm drizzle of a storm while others clap like thunder. I am really impressed with this one, and also have to admit am a HUGE fan of any poetry that references nature Great work Tay!
