thus is born, a vestal week heaven's weep on windows, streak holds for most, a Monday, dreary yet, those oyster clouds, so teary drench my essence with elation aliment for Earth's hydration carried in these serous beads all that sates creation's needs rills feed rivers - rivers, oceans how can there be sad emotions amidst these miracles, so plain wondrous drops of summer rain? no ... such days for me are harbingers of all the bounty that occurs when we find within the storms that sunshine comes ... in many forms.

Your poetic form is so breathtaking, yet so clear, while not overstated in any way---a tad understated actually, with ocean-depths of meaning swimming right underneath the tantalizing surface. This is a poem!! Bravo! To me, it's the prize of the first prize trophy winners! Best wishes, Gershon

As one who reads on a stormy Portuguese holiday Monday, you bring my sunshine with this little ray Greg.
