Hope

 A rain cloud gliding like a dove	
Between the vault of heaven above
And the parched land below

Nobly imaged, Valsa. You've dreamed up a 'cloud with class!' Lovely! :) Gershon

Valsa perfectly worded. The image presented in words is reflective of your theme of HOPE. Witty and clever in its intent and presentation. Conveying your message of HOPE. Enjoyed so much reading, and it wouldnt surprise me to see this finishing first in the contest.

Valsa, your excellent verse exudes hope. I can see the clouds that your brilliant writing has created between heaven and earth.

Reminds me of tristich from the Bible. You have done the form justice. I enjoyed reading this one today. We've got some clouds this morning with hopes of rain, and we really need some for it has been about 8 weeks since we have had hardly any to measure, but it has rained here and there like summer rains do just not on our place.
