This reminds me a lot of a poem of mine, except for mine is much longer... anyway, good poem. I like the little details that help create it, like 'slowly coming down'. I agree with a previous reviewer that there are some excessive 'the's, and maybe she should add a period at the end of the last line (yes, I know, a very minor detail).

Hey, it's me Katie from Creative Writing. I finally got around to reviewing some of your stuff. lol Sorry, I've been uber busy. Anywho, onto my review!

I must honestly say, though I really hate to admit this, I'm not a fan of poetry, never have been & probably never will be. I'm more of a story person. XD Yet, I actually really liked this one even though it's a bit morbid and depressing. It's short, but powerful. Bravo! Now I'm gonna go read more of your stuff! ^-^

I was reminded of this WWII documentary that my grandparents taped and sent to us. There are gruesome pictures of dead bodies and limbs and boys' brains...and I envisioned a slight drizzle covering these bodies until everything was the same, uniform gray. That was how (in my mind) the world ended.

Basically, this was really cool. :)

I like this, although im not sure if its what I would necessarily call deep I like your imagrary. can I show you something though.

The rain slowly coming,
cleansing earth
wiping away sorrows
Drowning out screams
Smothering pain

Sorrows
Screams
Pain

its good that you keep your stronger words to the outside, but get rid of some of those unnecessary words in the middle
like:

I gave you what was necessary thats what all the above stanzas are, but the imediate one above is the unneccessary stuff.
Tell me what you think, Im not pretensious enough to think my way is better and if you hate it hate it and dont listen to me.

Wow. That was fabulous - the last line really stunned me, it had a lot of power. My main suggestion would be to experiment with the rhythm of the poem. It works pretty well as is, but it might work a little better with a different rhythm.

Good job!
