Tiny drops of water, falling from halfway down the sky, Shedding sights of splendour, as the pillow soft clouds cry. When a silvery drop falls upon a leaf, its green hue cascades. As more drops fall they join to spill to the ground, the leaf fades. The rain begins as a thinly woven veil, a shower so precise. Falling softly upon your skin, a sensation to beckon and entice. As droplets of a fine mist explode to quite a heavy downfall, Resplendent colours mix with the sun and create a golden shawl. Rain is welcomed with its rich gift of nourishing water to all. As it’s momentum grows the sound is stronger of a heavier fall. We know there will be a glorious rainbow appear as proof, But they aren't so splendid when there is an almighty hole in the roof.

I am delighted to see your name on the winners' list. Way to go. Congratulations to you. When I was a child, my father bought an old country farm. When the first rain came, the sound of raindrops dripping into every pot, pan and bucket we owned rang out during the night. They put on new tin soon. Sara K

Hello dear Wen! I love how rainfall is depicted here with wonderful, vivid imagery,’ silvery drop’’ thinly woven veil’’ droplets of a fine mist explodes’. The rain builds in momentum to become heavier - ‘create a golden shawl ‘ I too, love that line and the beautiful imagery conjured through your poetic words.The last stanza serves as a contrast with rain as a gift to all but not in all circumstances! The picture pairs perfectly with the last line! I really enjoyed it :) thank you. Hugs xx

Chris, honestly when I joined Soup I could never have imagined me writing such flowery descriptions. Way back then, I envied other poets like Jenna Logan for having that talent. I cant do it when I have a story to tell, but via trial and error if the subject lends itself to descriptive phrases, I am managing to improve a little. Re, the last line- I had to put some kind of story in it! - Thank you for your continued encouragement, and lovely comments. Wen

Aww I bet you say that to all the poets :) (just kidding) Thanks Empress. I appreciate it coming from a lady that can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, with a few well chosen words. Its fun writing poetry isn't it? Cheers and best wishes. Umm by any chance did you read the last line or look at the picture ?
