Rainy Day

On a day that was meant to be gray
Raindrops fell, with nothing to say
Its sound was so soothing
Nature's symphony moving
And forever, its rain will at bay

This limerick paints a peaceful and contemplative image of a rainy day, with the steady sound of raindrops providing a calming background noise.

The imagery used in the poem evokes feelings of serenity.

The first line sets the scene and the second line introduces the main subject, the rainy day, the third line describes the sound of the rain, the fourth line gives the consequence of the sound.

The last line suggests that the serenity and beauty of the moment will remain with the speaker forever.
