I feel like rain today.....

I had to shut my window because the rain was coming in.
Big fat cold heavy drops.
Hurry shut the window,
My books might get wet.
The words would smear together making a big mass of letters,
uncomprehensible yet pretty
in a way that only words can be.
And rain makes books smell funny,
like grandma's basement
or the garage that's been submerged too many times
from the river coming up.
September rain
is so much colder
than July rain.
Cold and heavy
like autumn bearing down
brown and gold
instead of green and blue
like rain really should be.
I don't like the rain
when it's cold and heavy
it reminds me too much of snow
and what is yet to come
as the dark unknown chill of winter
waits in the air
just around the corner
seeping into my nights
and before you know it frost will be
spilling over the flowers
that used to wake me in the morning
with their fresh scent.
I had to shut my window because the rain was coming in.
It made me so cold.
