Rain droplet’s sing in the rain
Our primary source of life
Freely falling from the skies
A gift of sustenance from above
Given to us out of love
Pure tears for lost souls
No salt for passing ones
Wet mildew the angels cry for us?
They cry for each one
The born
The born-again
The sinners
The saints
Tears of joy
Tears of pain
Rainfall down, everyone does
To their knees
For worship
For hopelessness
The ground is our home
And our plants catch the tears
Showere you giving up?
Don’t
The hands that wipe away sadness
Are nailed down still, but
Monsoon they will rise
To wipe each one away
Absolutely beautiful! Stunningly beautiful.

Lovely sentiments, although if I may say, I found some of the formatting distracting me from the images you painted.

I was unsure how to format it without it being distracting, while also making the reader notice the transition of the word/s. I figured just the basic font variations of bold and italic would be fine. But I guess they could be distracting.

RAndom thoughts made into a lovely poem. Not sure the different fonts helped.

Yeah, it was the best way I knew how to easily show the transition between word/s.

Stunning. I don’t think it would be properly understood by most without the font changes.

Dear Jorbi,
This poem’s effect is intensified by the fact that it’s raining here as I read.
Shalom,

Nice poem. As for the format…I think poetry is an art and you have the freedom to scuplt it anyway you want.

Thank you! I do not write much poetry, but I think sculpting it, in whatever method, is what makes it fun! Although, sometimes it doesn’t work. (Sorry for the late response!)

I loved it. The font change makes the reader pause, and that’s necessary, I think.

Thank you! Yeah, I did want the reader to pause on those lines not only for clarity, but also to slow down a bit between every few lines. It also helps to distinguish the change between the two words. (Sorry for the late response!)
