Falling in the reign of rain
in fall I’m reined by words
by wine and cheese, by you
inside as ember crackle,
some smooth jazz playing.
Falling in the reign of fall
I’m warmed by candle light
relaxing by the fireplace
I love this sound of rain.

Oh, me too, especially when it bounces off the roof! I love the ’ember crackle’, the candle light and fireplace – sounds cosy!
Me too! Love the sound of rain. Crazy as it sounds, in our days of tent camping, I always wished for at least one night of rain as I loved falling asleep to the sound of the rain falling on the tent. And then the next morning, that fresh smell after a good rain soaker. Oooh, cozying up by the fire with the reign of rain….love it!
I liked this line: “Falling in the reign of fall”
Jazz, wine, cheese… perfection!
The perfect fall evening. I was right there as you described it. The “reign of rain” — wonderful!
Exactly what’s needed when the rain is falling and we can’t pretend it’s just soft summer rain—crackling fires and candlelight.
I also love the sound of rain.
The best sound in the world……..
The sound of rain, especially when falling on the roof or leaves and making that lovely patpatpatpat sound. Nice cozy poem.
This is too much. You are very creative. I Like the Sound of Rein and Playing With Your Mind.
Words like a warm quilt to curl up with.
Perfect (minus the jazz).
Love this mantra of gratefulness. Perfect, jazz and all.
ember crackle…smooth jazz…rain.
PERFECT.
You’ve deftly described a perfect autumn evening. Cozy by the fire, feeling romantic!
I too find rain comforting and safe.
Very nice – long may rain reign.
The reign of rain in fall and the sound of rain is a blessing of nature. Beautifully worded!
Nice “little ditty”
The fall of rain, and the reign of Fall – great wordplay. Such a cosy piece.
This is beautiful!
I love the sound of rain, too, but am holding off on the idea of fall a bit longer. This is a romantic poem, thougn.:-)
I love all that repetition!
I’m warmed by candle light
relaxing by the fireplace
I love this sound of rain.
It is such a privilege to be in a warm and relaxed mood. Like the peaceful nature pointed out, Bjorn!

The cooling rain and warming hearth fire………..a great day!
I love the sound of rain and your poem reminded me of all the other things that I love about rain.
I love the sound of rain, as well. The sound of rain is such a simple and pure pleasure, I think your choice of keeping the piece short and simply put was a wise one. … though you’ve infused the piece with warm and intimate images ~ sigh ~ ‘simply’ lovely.
to the rhythm of the drops
and the smooth jazz
our bodies join
