Certainty of Rain

i just stare up the sky
and wonder
not if, but when
the rain will start pouring

the sky is not dark
nor gloomy
but the certainty of rain
is constant

certainty
such a confident word
such a confident word

I like this, Miriel :-)

Here's an unsolicited comment:

I find the last three lines rather blatant, though.

"Certainty, such a confident word," is good--maybe the poem could end here. If you repeat, "such a confident word," it could suggest some irony.

good suggestion. i was actually thinking of ending the poem after "such a confident word" but somehow, it felt bitin. so added the last 2 lines even if they didn't quite fit in the poem.

i'm still working on my tula, as well as that write up on that wonderful weekend.
