Great stuff, UH. Here's my favorite:

A poet is someone who stands outside in the rain hoping to be struck by lightning.

James Dickey

I actually wrote a 55-story titled, "She Is the Rain."

It only happens when it rains...Thinking of her. She looked into my eyes while lying there in my arms mouthing the words I'd so many times before took for granted. But I couldn't hear her and God knows I tried and God knows I do love her so much everyday...It only happens when it rains.

Hope you like it.

Thanx Dohn for the comment.

I liked it. A touching one. I hope Mark and Earnest don't read this, because the moment any of one read the word God, they are going to attack you. lol

And that quote about poets touched me too. What's your zodiac sign BTW? You look like a Cancerian.
