Heaven's always weeping Just to grace your lash Cobalt iris' peeping Midst your eyelid sash Gem-like water shimmers Rainbows on your face Shiny dermal glimmers Spark your sultry grace Misty tresses dancing Through a soaked ballet Raindrops softly glancing Scattered with your sway Stormy weather magic Conjured by your smile Chances, waxing tragic Should it not ... beguile. * FIRST PLACE in the "88 Syllables" Poetry Contest, Joseph May, Sponsor.

Valedictory salutations (synonym for the overused other word) on your lovely description of the pic. I rejoice with you for placing in both contests. Pleasing to the eye and the ear (when read aloud).
