Notes About The Poem

Falling Winter Sends Rain

Rain follows the fading winter's breath

In the tangled field,
where bristly ryegrass sways

Emerging green, the blades do rise
glimmer in the verdant hue of shamrock

like the lively notes of the cuckoo's call
Whispers dance upon the undulating meadows

The fragrance of the soil—
its charm, a whisper of rain-kissed ground

Silver whispers of yearning
Softly sung, a memory lingers still.

Daniel Henry Rodgers September 3, 2025 at 8:32 AM Hello Sotto, Congrats on POTD! There's something almost impressionistic about how you paint the scene, each flowing into the next like watercolors bleeding together. I think you've captured something ephemeral and made it feel eternal. Blessings, Sotto, Daniel
