Poem

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.

The April Rain Song expressess how the writer (Langston Hughes) feels about the rain. It also expressess self expression because he describes the many different ways that the rain sounds to him. He brings out the compassionate side of himself and just decides to be quiet and listen to the wonderful sound of the rain. Langston Hughes is a very great writer and expressess himself by writing poems and many other self expression pieces of writing.
