Khalil Gibran presents the rain in all its glory, movements, sounds and colours. The very first image gives a divine touch to the rain. Its shimmering dotted silver threads are dropped from the heaven by the gods themselves. In the next image, Gibran compares the rain to ‘beautiful white pearls’ plucked from the crown of Ishtar. Then in  three images, the poet expresses the different intense movements and sounds of the rain.

When it ‘cries’, the hills laugh. When it falls down in ‘humble’ and soft drops, the flowers rejoice. When it bows and spreads showers all around, everyone is ‘elated’. The ‘voice of thunder1 declares its arrival. The rainbow announces its departure. It emerges from the heart of the sea and soars with the breeze. It embraces flowers and trees in a ‘million little ways’. It is a ‘sigh’ of the sea. It is the ‘laughter’ of the field. It is ‘the tears of heaven’.

The rain has its own music and song. It can be heard by all but only a few can understand and feel its music or song. Only the sensitive and delicate souls and hearts can feel and understand the melodies of rain. Collect poems which give us images of rain. 

Here are some examples:

1 The Art Of Rain: 

— Mitchell D. 

Wilson Falling Down, pooling up,

Out of the sky, into my cup. 

What is this wet that comes from above, 

That some call disaster and others find love. 

The harder it falls, the fess it is nice, 

The colder it falls the harder the ice. 

The rain has an art that I may not get, 

So I stand still here and get soaking wet.

2. Rainfall 

— S.Arun Kumar 

Cool guy knocking the door, 

Wind blow with whistle sound, 

Fresh air is waiting for us, 

Rainy, Rainy be with us. 

Sky turns to the dark, 

Flowers are smiling and dancing, 

All over darkness hangs with us, 

Rainy, Rainy be with us. 

Rainy the beauty of the world, 

Memories of the past remind with us, 

Fog is coming to hug me,

Rainy, Rainy be with us. 

Dew on the grass, 

Lighting of the sky, 

Makes me feel lovely,

Rainy, Rainy be with us. 

Lovely sun smiling on us, 

Children dancing like peacock, 

Lover’s turning to birds, 

Rainy, Rainy be with us. 

Farmers are so happy, 

Greenish nature all over the place, 

Snow comes to kiss my feet, 

Rainy, Rainy be with us.
