Rain on a tin roof

very deep, i like it. its a little depressing though

Rain on a tin roof can sound like a buckets of stones being emptied on it.
And you really feel as if the skies have opened on you. But as you suggest it can be a comforting sound, once you are used to it. Your poem has some good ideas but the rhyme-scheme needs to be worked on.

i didn't want it to rhyme, it just sought of happened partially

Re: Rain on a tin roof



This reminds me of a story I heard about WC Fields.

He always slept best when it was raining, and he could hear it on the roof.

At the end of his days, he would lie in bed, a much pain, and say to his long time companion.....I wish it would rain so I could sleep.

They were somewhere in California where it did not ran often.

Then, suddenly, it would shower almost every day. The sound would sooth him and he would tell his love how much better he felt.

It was her standing outside in the garden, with a hose. She would spray the water on the roof so it would drip in front of his window, so he could rest.
