LOL, yes, I remember everyone feeling like this in the summer - and now everyone mutters, 'Bloody rain again.'

Yowza, lady. Love the upside down expression you utilized in this kimo. Heaven probably does have some secrets we won't know about til we get there. I bet this weeping for joy in heaven will be revealed..every time someone comes to the fold they weep with joy and laughter. Chris will enjoy your work,,I just know it!! I have one poem I am working on for myself personally and then I will mostly be off the site til after Christmas working a lot and visiting family. :)

Intriguing Kimotherapy Andrea, good luck in the contest. Thanks for reading my first diamante poem(it turned out not a diamond shape!) Tranquil vs profundity. Tranquil is a state of being calm while profundity used as a noun means of great depth. According to dic.com by Merriam Webster I hope you are enjoying the holidays! Love Dalila

Oh Wow Andrea, you have created a simply brilliant write! I too desire sometimes to just stand in the rain looking up to the heavens and feel the freedom as you speak! What a beautiful poem you have here...With heaven weeping for joy, that is totally awesome! Great submittal! Oh, btw, I'm taking the MBA coursework in graduate school! I hope to graduate with a masters degree in a year and a half! Outstanding Work!!
