I LOVE THE RAIN

I Love the Rain

by Ma. Erica So Dalag

Rain drops falling in my head,
and never knowing when it will end.
Should I run for cover,
or let another rain drop fall in my head again?
I would love to dance in the rain,
and knowing somehow it’ll help erase the pain.
Sometimes when I’m all alone,
and I see rain drops are falling outside again.
There’s happiness that I feel because rain is here once again.
Some may feels gloomy when it rains
and some just want to feel it in their hand.
But me I just love it when rain drops falls into my face.
Oh the magic that rain brings, it makes you feel unique.
It may bring you sadness, wet feeling in toes and clothes
but I just see happiness when it rains.

I chose this poem because I really love the rain for the happiness and joy it brings. I love the rain because I get to observe the funny faces made by everyone on the streets while trying to avoid the raindrops on their head, the puddles and splashes. Also the rain always makes everyone closer and friendlier when they're stuck under one shelter. I love the rain with all five senses: the sight of rainbows which is attractive for me, the sound of rain as it hits in our roof, the cool feeling of the raindrops when it hit your skin, the taste of catching raindrops on your tongue like a child, and the clean fresh smell that fills the air. The rain makes me comfortable, calm, peace of mind, reminds me of the memories, and remembers me what I said to my father when I was a child. Rain cleanses the earth and lastly I’ve had a fascination with water since I was a child.
