Poets love rainy days. With simile and metaphor they will indicate that the Earth Mother is commiserating with a bleak mood they are suffering through or weeping (as poets weep) for humanity. Poets...if you did not realize previously...are insanely deluded. Someday...I am hoping that they will realize rain is rain and dammit! tulips need rain. I think it more likely that the poets will just disappoint me...they are good at disappointing people.
