One of my student wrote the following sentence in setting description. It sounds weird to me. "The sky was weeping stones." He told me that he wanted to say that the rain droplets were huge and it was raining heavily. How can I correct it? |

"The sobbing, sorrowing sky wept torrents of tragic tears". |

I would accept it. As a metaphor, it�s not very good, though. A better metaphor would be to do with rivers and streams rather than stones etc. I like torrents as suggested by Les, and it�s alliterative, too. |

It could be a metaphor for hail. |
