Rain Days
the rains came
and went by.
Those twelve sodden days
left out to dry
at the window sill.
and yet,
I cannot get the smell
of yesterday out of their folds.

i close my eyes and can smell the rains and all the other smells that your poem brings...brill!
12 sodden days might have given you a bad cold-temporary loss of smelling power!
tweleve sodden days...not sodden poet! methinks you missed point here, anonymous!
Manisha Lake: Sorry, Sorry. Thanks for enlightening me.You missed my point too. Anyway, poetry is not my cup of tea (or coffee?. Never again.
Nice twist on 'smell' Sunil,
"I cannot get the smell
of yesterday out of their folds."
A coincidence, even I just put one up on smell today!
:-)
I loved the metaphor after 12 sodden days. I can almost hear a sigh in those words.
