Gyp's~ This is a wonderful poem! My favorite stanza is the first one. Such great imagery. Especially 'she's thirsty for answers...' Flows nicely in a poem with the title 'Cup of Rain'. I also liked, 'A cup full of rain, Won’t give you a river.' Such a grim reminder of those who aren't willing to even meet you half way in a relationship. Such is life, I suppose...I love how you turned a somewhat saddening topic into such a beautiful poem. There's a softness to it...maybe that's the rain image in my head. Anyway, Great Poem! :) ~Courtney
I like this, you have managed to convey perfectly what it feels like to be in the dark, and scared to ask for light incase it's all too much and the bulb blows! Moyaxx
I just love this poem! It is extremely well crafted - and I particularly like the 3rd verse re sharpening her claws...and the ending is superb. I am trying to navigate my way round the website, but definitely want this one in my Favourite Poems.
Clever last lines. I like that expression. A cup full...won't make a river. Hugs Jan
This is lovely, Scarborough G. Emotional, sad yet sweet, too. Very nice poem. Hugs, CJ
Very good rhyme and sense of humor.
