Rain

[Bob Clay]

I like the sound of rain pattering on the roof, it's a soothing sound that washes the soul, the background music of the sky.

But then I've always liked rain and long ago when someone told me rain was god crying I never believed it, then or now, rain is about life not crying.

Think about it, rain falls from the sky and makes rivers. Rivers make valleys and valleys are a place for life to flourish. Then the rain moves onto the sea and the whole cycle starts over.

If that's crying, then the tears are for the sheer beauty of it all.

Love this. Beautifully observed, beautifully expressed.

I agree completely with Ed. It's clean like the earth just after a shower. I can practically smell the ozone.

[Edward Dean]

There has always been a very clean simplicity in your writing Bob and that's what always makes it enjoyable, whether humorous, caustic, contemplative or down right 'in your face!'
Well done.

I like the sound of rain pattering on the roof, it's a soothing sound that washes the soul, the background music of the sky. That line soothes me. This is what you wanted...clever.

[Michael Brown]

Soft yes. Where's the joke? Only kidding. I knew you could do this kind of stuff too, especially after reading your history pieces. You're like a renaissance man.
