Rain's Harp

Massaging the strings as droplets alight
Dewy nectar of the rainbow's sunlight
Angels' songs take wing -- faithfully
On earth mortals dance - in harmony

Harp notes tremble in graceful time
Arpeggios crescendo to nature's rhyme
Whilst the tempest gathers force high above
Toward its climax ~ a downpour of love

Ohhh Gershon, the enchantment of your poem is beyond heaven and above. Your first stanza is full of delicate beauty, like a fine lace.. your second stanza is full of graceful and alluring energy and dynamic imagery that is enthralling and quickened my pulse.. A superb poem with a superb title and an absolutely stunning last line. Love it and I must fave this beauty! Warmest wishes always my wonderful friend.. ~Susan

After consulting with my translator, he and I have decided that we guess you didn't care much for the poem. I'll try harder, next time. OK? ~ Dejected in Chicago …………………………...............……………….Sniff, Sniff...…………...…………. Susan! -- A fave? Really? Very humbling for lil' ole me. :) Gershon
