Raindrops on Roses

pink petal’d-petrichor scent
brumous blossoms fold
dark rain falls from sunless skies
still, her garden’s gold
doused roses airing
as bright beam disperses clouds
poised beauty flaring

Joe Dimino Date: 8/16/2025 5:12:00 AM Lovely write. Delightful. The rain in Spain is never plain -- not there nor anywhere else, each drop a stork of rosy rebirth. Let us sweep daily our minds and hearts as we do our chimneys, the soot out, and the fresh in. Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 8/16/2025 10:46:00 AM What a fun comment :) Hugs

Gary Radice Date: 8/16/2025 12:07:00 AM 'The Favourite Things' contest title and the "Raindrops On Roses" had me ready for a take on Dana's Eurovision Song Contest song from 1970 but your poem beats all of that hands down. I love the lines: "..dark rain falls from sunless skies still, her garden’s gold" - I just wish I'd written that:) Great work Kim.
