'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

Wow you are opening my eyes to new forms, missy-- have to look up kwansaba next time--- this sure has beautiful images in it and I have to love that gazelle--it sure lends a very graceful image and "kisses of rain" is just adorable-- even more so if they were chocolate kisses? heehee kidding---btw maybe you could remove the apostrophe in "its" pretty please? thank you-- beautiful write as always missy :D --hugs to you
