The April showers
fall softly on verdant earth
awakening Spring

As Your Grace descends
to bring new Life to my soul
awakening Love

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

What a masterful comparison you write here, Ellie! It is beautiful, and heart-warming.

God was so wise to bring Easter to us in the spring. Joyce

Ah, excellently done! Your talent with Haiku/Senryu and Tanka is truly admirable, as one such as I who loves these formats and uses them so often.
It is a constant thrill to see the title of one of your posts accompanied by the name of one of these formats.

Very few people can write them quite like you do.
These two are truly no exception. Maybe someday you and I can do a Renga?

These two compliment each other so eloquently yet modestly.

Very good job.

Ellie,

As April showers bring new life, God's grace has brought new love into your heart. This was I believe a wonderful testimony that I enjoyed reading.
