[an:f0c7a79eb9]wrote this when considerably high...last Friday (btw, thanks to the few that I force to put up with my moods when I'm like that), as a matter of fact. Found it again and decided to post it[/an:f0c7a79eb9]

I’m imagining for a second
a world without rain.

No umbrellas, bright-colored hues sparkling like so many diamonds
no rained-out fun, park picnics and long walks on the beach
no ruined plans, a million children sitting at a million kitchen tables
no wet soggy clothes, dripping, dripping.

It made me smile,
but that got me thinking.

No puddles for the children, shouting screaming who can splash the highest
no wet dark mud, tracked endlessly on clean white floors
no excuses to not get work done, surrounded by yourself, your ‘life’
no dancing in the rain, laughing, laughing.

And that made me kind of sad, so
I thought a little deeper.

No showers for the crops, brown and yellow, and endless field of dust
no flowers in the spring, brilliant pinks and purples nestled in their beds of green
no relief in summer heat, a scorched dry ball, dull and dead
no haunting winter snow, shining, shining

So I’ve decided that a world without rain
is kind of like a world without sun

and I don’t think I’d like that.

great imagry in those lines.
this whole piece vaguely reminds me of bright eyes, but not in a bad way. not like it was ripped or something. it was really good, and boy oh boy do i know how these things tend to come out in such states of mind alteration. good stuff.

Rico, I don't usually read poetry so I can't actually say anything to help you. But for some reason I really enjoyed reading this and felt like I needed to tell you so. Oh, and the last line was the best
