As an exercise for Literature, we were asked to attempt to describe the rain using metaphors and arranging it into verse, as is done with metaphysical poetry. My conceit for this piece was that rain inspires a writer.

The Rain

If the drenchèd soul is thus turned to grey,

It doth inspire; an ideal ray

Shades of black liken to shades of white,

And they let the soul inspirèd take flight

And into the light the said soul doth fly

Idea returned and not let pass by.
