Are you into poetry..?

Question:how would you call 'rain'' in a poetic way?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: how would you call 'rain'' in a poetic way?

It depends on how many words you want to use, I think. For me, sometimes I use entire poems to write "rain" ; for example, this is a part of a poem that I wrote, and though I use the actual word I mix it in with other water-sounding words/phrases to give it a more poignant resonance:

a tear—
no, a raindrop
leaves a track of starlight down your face
glimmering in the graying sky
as the color,
the tint of life begins to fall
from nowhere

In the selection above, the words "tear," "glimmering," "fall" and "graying" all indicate aspects of rain. I hope that helps :D

If you mean what would I call rain...probably something like tears from heaven.

depends on how heavy the fall is ? the pattering of a small shower , or the menace of a torrential storm etc , etc etc

It depends on the type of poem. If it's about nature, then you could say something about rain falling. If it's something with emotion, then you could use the rain as tears.

Perspiring clouds.

You could use the rain as tears like many people have said.
You could also use: sprinkle, mist, showers, sheets, torrent, condensation, drizzle, patter, watering the earth, quenched the earth's thirst.....etc.

sky dribble

nop

but heavenly tears

Depends on the mood.
In one of my own works I used "Healing tears sent from Heaven"

If it's a full out thunderstorm I once likened it to Gods that warred in the Heaven. Sorry that wasn't much help. That particular one was one of my best passages and I'm loathe to give it up even a more detailed idea of what I used until I've finished the poem.

Sorry I'm not much help on this one.

there are various ways...actually it depends on the poet...everyone thinks in a different way. so something which might seem like an appropriate "calling"of rain may not seem to be good to you..in fact it sometimes may seem like plain gibberish...so i guess you should not rely on others perception of rain...... :)

Depends on the context.
It can be used as a VERB - as in "he rained (lavished) generosity on her - in vain".
Or, more commonly, a NOUN - "the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain".
There are few alternative words for rain - and I assume you are looking for something to reflect the effects of rain - as in:
"The downpour was so heavy, he felt the very Heavens were spitting in his face and trying to drown him - even before his sorrows did."
Or : "The shower was as refreshing as an April sprinkling on an array of daffodils."
Please don't regard the above alternatives to"rain" as recommended. Many would regard the expressions as hackneyed - with over-use of alliteration. They merely represent the best I could cobble together in 10 minutes. And hopefully help you think of something better.
The poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote a neat piece - which might also help. It refers to a nun "taking the veil" and is entitled :
HEAVEN-HAVEN - and has a water theme.

I have desired to go
where SPRINGS not fail
to fields where flies no sharp and sided HAIL
and a few lilies blow.

And I have asked to be
where no STORMS come
where the green SWELL is in the havens dumb
and out of the swing of the SEA.

Hope some of this helps.
