The Sound of Rain

The sound of the rain
feels like a blanket of words
I thought I forgot
under over-strained sunshine.
Lost stories come home sometimes.



Liner Notes for this Groove: This tanka is linked to the Friday Writings post at Poets and Storytellers United.

  3. You set a wonderful mood. Indeed, the sound of rain from indoors is a comfort that brings memories home.

    1. LOL, I feel like there's at least a little melancholy (or a lot!) lately in my work.

  5. I'm in love with the last line of your tanka, and with the tone of the whole poem. It feels so right for my current mood...

  6. "Lost stories come home sometimes," more and more so the older we get. I have hopes for some stuff I can't remember, some my wish is that they stay buried. I was commenting the other day, we tend to remember the very sad and the very happy moments best. Mediocre ones tend to stay forgotten.
