April Rain Song
Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
And I love the rain.
Langston Hughes
I love this poem, because Langston Hughes shows his gentle side. To me this is just beautiful and demonstrates how the rain makes Langston Hughes feel. These seven lines are so powerful and complete with details, that readers are able to grasp the scenario. People can actually visualize how the rain is falling and the noise it makes as it hit the sidewalk. My favorite line in this poem is line 6. “The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night.” I love how he picked an image that everyone can relate to especially me. To me this line makes me think how the rain gentle drops fall on the roof and just puts me to sleep.
