Rippled mantle like a cobble-stoned lane Meand'ring softly as a wand'ring child Stepping gently, crossing slowly once again Revealing currents scattered deep and wild Reigning in a kingdom of fostered showers Billows rise like zeppelin clouds of ease Coaxing daisies like dawdling flowers Fresh to life's incessant breeze Filtered breaths of windswept air Clothed in day-mist's soft unfurling Changing scene-pools of soft despair Leaves aloft and swiftly swirling Comes the rain in fevered splendor Comes the rain in fervent wonder And the soul rests in complete surrender |

Yo Steavenr, This makes decent use of poetic sentence fragments. Bobby |

I enjoyed this. Lovely use of language. In response to your request for constructive criticism, I would like the use of "mild" words like meandering softly, gently billowing, etc. to change (build?) to the more powerful weather insinuated. |

Bobby, thank you...I promise I will use up whole sentences in the near future...appreciate you taking the time to read and comment Callista, you are dead on...I changed the title twice and some of the words several times to keep the idea of a gentle rain...sorry if I left traces of my confliction, but congrats on an excellent eye in noticing them...oh, and welcome to PiP since I don't think I've welcomed you yet Ida, thank you kindly...sounds like a great title for something..."can't wait for the rain" |

Wasn't it you who said you wanted to highlight every word?? Ditto, dude!! But if I must, since you made me do it... Reigning in a kingdom of fostered showers Billows rise like zeppelin clouds of ease Coaxing daisies like dawdling flowers Fresh to life's incessant breeze Just beautiful, steaven~ This is brilliant and I am in awe!! |
