showers
rinse of April
glisten flower petals
yet some would see this only as
spring rain

Very nice -- that's the kind of thing that cinquain is all about.

The word "of" stopped my eye at first, but the rest -- sweet as rainwater. This one's a keeper!

Thanks all for the comments.
I tried to follow Nan's rules in the workshop, about the function of each cinquain line.
I like that part of the challenge, as it raises the level of difficulty.
In that light, the second line, originally "rinse my April", did not explain the title line as her rules said it should, so I changed it to "rinse of April", an explanation.
