Showering

Hard pressed
Make clean the street filth
Cost of water, rising through rain
She sheds her scales
One eye then two
An onlooker then be four
Sounds of stream and myth
Flowing, breathing
Scattered shoes and gin
Steam uplifts like clouds
Roses and jasmine lightly in air
Swirling drain
Wash, wash, wash it away
Only beauty now to be shared.

Taking the time to read my work, is appreciated so very much! If I only get one read, touch one person, then I am content. Your many viewings and kind comments have uplifted me and inspired to keep my pencil and paper handy. I am discovering new poetic forms, and most are all first tries. I know I make many mistakes on all the strict rules imposed upon the new forms I am experimenting with, but I will keep working and reading. It's means more than you could know, to recieve your feedback. Any suggestions or critiques are most needed and welcome. I respect your work and enjoy it immensely!Thank you again for taking the time! Andrea
