The Funeral.

In morning sky
   fell cats
        and dogs

freely
     as they came
grey
    above
         beyond
    below

In morning sky
   fell cats
        and dogs

freely


The title is only a working title at the moment as I am not quite sure what I am going to call it. Critiques are most welcome.

Hope you enjoy the read.

This is great.....it read out in a sequence, continuous, such as the rain that falls, and the text formatting spirals downward,as rain. I like the cats and dogs idea, and would base a title on it, I think. Very much enjoyed reading this one!!  ~~S~~

Pen how you truly feel...
it is a safety-valve for the soul!

(smiles) Oh Andrew, I agree with Sunnyone, you have such a wonderful and inventive idea going here and a title blended with the cats and dogs would be perfect, yay! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Andrew, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Not bad... I think I've seen better from you, but this isn't bad at all... just a little over my head is all; not a big surprise there
Good to see you writing.

Andrew~
I enjoyed this very much.
I've read this quite a few times now,
and I'm not really sure of the exact
meaning that you were shooting for,
but I do know that I like it.
Keep writing and I'll keep reading.

Hey I like this..
But I'm wondering, does the title have something to do with the setting of when your remembering it? were you at a funeral, or some such event?

If so then I think the title is good, if you expand on that idea. If not then maybe choose something else to expand on more, like how the rain was falling, or I don't know, whatever you choose, and then the title may come easier.

Take care and keep it up! I enjoyed this.
Always, GG
