SOIL SOAKER

SOIL SOAKER*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rain
weighty, intense
piercing, soaking, saturating
refreshing earth’s firmament
soil soaker

Line Gauthier Date: 9/1/2025 7:31:00 PM You did justice to this poetic form ~ I think you'll agree that it's not anyone's favourite ~ this form is choppy by nature and there's no way to make it flow well Login to Reply Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 9/2/2025 4:59:00 PM you're right...the form is choppy...therefore, not my favorite. Thanks for your encouragement, Sara
