'kisses of the Rain'

After a night of rain, the sun,  
its shimmer, a welcome like no other.
A new day starts with such promise,
an array of flora across the pasture
a gazelle leaping all over the place.
The kisses of the rain still visible 
a delight for my eyes to behold.

Very descriptive and expressive work..I am glad that I chose this one to read this afternoon..Excellent line about the gazelle..Deer here that decorate the landscape but they have their non-poetic side..Sara

What a magnificent immage of the pasture's dew as well as the beautiful flowers. How grand it must be to see the gazelle leaping! One for my favorites, Wilma. Love, Carolyn
