Has taken him by surprise:

the words progress to make the reader feel the hope and then the loss and pain of the poet.

When I read his poem, I feel like touching an abstract power, which makes us to write poem.

Those last two lines complete the poem with the sadden note love always springs when a heart is broken, Rain can always ease the pain when sister tears join in. An amazing work worth being a top rated one on this site

Poetry of rejection, of unrequited love-beating with a true heart-which hits softly but leaves an indelible mark.

Everything from trimeter quatrains that rhyme and metrical pyrotechnics that mimic Harmon's imagined storm and Straw's Welshman caught out without his umbrella in a rain or a storm, whether or not there's a girl involved seems to elude our poetaster - it's all there in twelve lines! And don't forget the Ancient Mariner, lads! (It was the buckets which were 'silly'! !) The simile the poem is based on reads 'like the touch of rain she was' - seems more a gentle mist that one barely feels on a London afternoon. No umbrella necessary for even the gentlest of souls such as Straw and his ilk! How delicate the lad as he stands there, the silly buckets filling with the rain and ruining his best gabardine! I'll stick with Emma's magic charm and Ramesh's wonderful poem!
