Ink Empress' Etheree Contest ~ April 8, 2025

Rain rhythmic splatterings of liquid drops fall on the sidewalk Somber nimbus teardrops Thunder bellows out his roar Lightning flash beautifies the sky That has become as dark as the night Quite ominous became the scenic mood Disturbing to both man and beast alike Then all is hushed and silence prevails Mourning clouds have floated away Skies have shed the gloomy gray Raindrops dry on the ground Nature's thirst is quenched Rainbows appeared arched above daylight sun

I found that picture after I'd written the lines. That's the way I always do it, and sometimes the perfect pairing shows up. Thanks!

if all raindrops were this beautiful there would be no need for umbrellas...

This is beyond creative, unique and well presented, love the shape of your etheree, and now that i see your picture too, its even better and i found it impressive how your first word is rain and last word is sun, how you did show through imagery and descriptive words, raindrops to sunshine! Its like i can see through your words, the shift and the rainbows arched above daylight sun! How gorgeous and only a painter and an artistic soul can do that! Thank you for joining. A fave it is! Congratulations on your top win. Sending you light

Ink, you and I are often sailing on the same sea. You see exactly what I hope readers conceptualize among my lines. Sometimes you see what lies between them. Thank you for finding favor with this one to gain a place on your winning list as well as for adding it to your faves list.

Thanks, Tania. I didn't want to loop it back to a rainy day.

What an ominous reminder, of the first time I heard thunder and lightning as a child. Breathtaking how it widens at the middle with intensity. What if the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow was actually the sun? Thank you for redefining what beautiful looks like, in my mind this evening! Warmest regards A.S.

Your thoughts are intriguing, A. S. The sun would surely be worth more than all the gold in the world. Thanks so much for such a kind review.

Lin, this makes me think of stacked haikus as it contains so much in just a drop. It's a real pleasure to read and amazes since a rain shower has so many of these.

That's a fine way of thinking about Limericks... as drops of thoughts without a shower or a storm. Thanks, Duke!

I'm so glad you did, Darlene. I think shaping makes it more appealing, but it certainly is a challenge to do so. Thanks!

Nice double Etheree poem. You describe the sequence from the start of the rain and to its end, and the appearance of rainbow, pretty well.

Beautiful double Lin, love to see a good thunderstorm in all its glory, love the sunshine too though lol. Seen some heavy downpours with thunder in Florida, ten minutes later, sunshine again. I bet you have too. Good luck in the contest. Tom

I sure have, Tom and when the sun comes back out, the humidity is stifling. Thanks for the read and remarks.
