I did this poem for Gail Doyles earlier contest; which was was locked before
I could place it; so I thought I'd post it on soup anyway for 
"the soupers" to read.. Joe      today I changed 'the' to as in the second last line.

and removed a semi-colon.

The air is shivered; to displacements whim.'
From the Ides of heaven’s sphere
As smote was the skin of a cosmic drum
Throbbing walls of pressure ‘push in’.
Then down as silvered mail, are droplets thrown
Disgorged from Yahweh’s mighty quiver
Descending on, and over all creation
Glistening in sheaves, and slivers;
Igniting the energy of growth, in plant
Grass, rock and tree, a heavy hissing static falls
Across the fells, and far flung seas.
To drop.. and dropping… under and upon'
Darkling pines, also the great lakes waters.
Lozenged globes, reflective, scatter liquid light 
In manifold freshening beads, too… carouses
Aloft in choruses; the damp clad whistling breeze.
Laurel leaves pendle and sway in harmony
and glistening mid-hued green, as sun bursts shine to
Kiss the rain, all embellishing; in tenebristic reverie.'

wow, Joe, this is amazingly descriptive. You really get across that feeling of big beautiful raindrops. I wanted to come right away and tell you, I was just perusing winner lists and happened to click on the next page to see that I had won in your occlusion contest. I had no idea since I rarely check my member contest area. Thanks for your contest and I sure wish others knew of that winners list. It never showed up on the first page of contest winners, so I think nobody knows it got judged!
