Ah Rain! ! Comments

IF I ever produce another (usually-monthly) showcase, this poem may find its way into that showcase. You may always remind me of it. ;) : ) bri

See my Jan.15th comment if you will. bri : )

I give this five stars (if I ignore the TYPOS) , mostly for the poem's attirbutes, but maybe a half to a whole star because Bharati is a good friend. : ) bri

The previously-mentioned (by me) book is 'In The Realms Of Love & Divinity'. I'm not too interested in love OR divinity, but Bharati gifted me with a copy. : )

I believe the title is Ah Rain! ! , NOT Ahrain! ! . This poem is one of many found in a recently-published book of poems, coauthored by Dr. Antony Theodore and Bharati Nayak (of PH) .

In at least three places AND in the title two words are connected (as if they were one word) which should NOT be connected. This is something PH used to do to me at times years ago.; (

'petrichor noun The distinctive scent which accompanies the first rain after a long warm dry spell. The yellow organicoil that yields this scent.'

So nicely composed! Just beautiful............loved it.

This is an urgent poem. You NEED the emotional that the very process of rainfall offers. Nature pulls us into a larger world than our wounded heart, which is then strengthened by these vast natural forces. But rain also works on an intimate level and it is this intimacy which I love especially in your poem. The lastline shows this so poignantly when you declare the rain will take no denials. I am pwesuaded! !

Hey, Bharati! I so relate to the feeling in this, the welcoming, the appreciation, for rain that finally comes to water the dryness of the earth and of our spirits. Hoping this finds you very well, Glen

It is really a beautiful poem on rain touching to philosophy. The last stanza that I quoted here is so touching. I hear your song, The footsteps of your coming Your knocks on the door Even when the doors and windows Are closed You come through Without listening to Any denials. Thanks for sharing.10

Hi Bharati, Rain is the essence of all His benevolence. Lovely poem.

Yes, rain is indeed enchanting, every drop has its spell and you have heard it’s song...soaking the earth and drenching you in shower, wow...how I have tided over you over tortuous sommer...what a lovely poem!

we can close our windows and doors but can't close our mind or thoughts-

Rain inspired a poem of great beauty! Thanks for sharing

The sorrow of painful heart and the drops of rain painted a wonderful picture with great imagery of a women crying and rain drops falling, Fantastic poem Bharati Ji.10++++

When it's late at night I love the sound of rain against the window. A great poem.
