God must be really sad if he cries enough to flood an area. But I can see it as sadness to to water the land so crops can grow enough to feed the hungry.
I have a poem called Mythology of a Storm which is on this topic.
Congrats on the honorable mention in the contest.
Keep writing.

Ah, a deck and a glorious storm--fine inspiration.
Moving, indeed, Bill. Leaving the guilty question:
Why would God cry?
I like the 'real world' use of 'lousy' as opposed to something 'poesy'.
Best of luck, Bill.
Peace, Lee

Thanks Lee - I have to drop into the dark side once in awhile. I appreciate your kind and generous comments.

Hello BHOGG,
You've written an excellent 5-7-5 poem and entry for the contest
with very good connection of the imagery of rain and God's tears.
Because it is a contest, my only suggestion would be to change "lousy" which is more of a slang term with a synonym like dismal, dreary or another of your choice.
Great picture, too
Good luck in the contest
Robert

You would get six stars from me for this, however I
have used all of mine. Maybe another writer will pick up the ball. This is great work. A lot said in three lines.

Thanks so much for reading and for your review. I write when the muse strikes, so don't pay attention to time of week or anything. A virtual six is wonderful!

I think the presence of God is very evident in nature, for those of us (like yourself) who are aware of his glory. We can be moved to tears ourselves when contemplating his mysteries and powers. Your poem puts that sentiment down in words very well.
