Poems for the rain: poetry when it rains

Poems for the rain: poetry when it rains.

Poetry and rain are closely linked; and just as the night and the moon are also common objectives for poets, it is impossible to decipher that link without subjecting it to poetic thought, which makes it a party involved in the matter and, therefore, partial.

Why do rain and poetry go hand in hand?

Partly because the rain (as well as the night and the moon) paralyze the activities that society considers useful. The rain induces daydreams, memories, longings, nostalgia; perhaps because the poet senses an arcane language in the drops, a design that is not capricious, capable of awakening in us those emotions that we believed (under the sun) were carefully buried.

It matters little whether it is a poem for a rainy night or whether that same rain justifies a vague night poem. Both, rain and poetry, are united beyond logic.

Let’s review then, without shelters or umbrellas to protect us, the 3 best rain poems.
