National Poetry Month: Day 3: Langston Hughes "April Rain Song"



Happy Wednesday!

It is day three of National Poetry Month. As you know, I have been sharing some of my favorite poems and poets with you.

Today's poem is by the handsome Harlem Renaissance man Langston Hughes. This poem is very fitting, since it is April and this month is known for its showers.

In a deeper sense, we all experience rain in our lives. Embrace it and face it because brighter days are on their way!

With Love,

-T. Amour

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.
