SOIL SOAKER

SOIL SOAKER*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rain
weighty, intense
piercing, soaking, saturating
refreshing earth’s firmament
soil soaker

Line Gauthier September 1, 2025 at 7:31 PM You did justice to this poetic form ~ I think you'll agree that it's not anyone's favourite ~ this form is choppy by nature and there's no way to make it flow well sara Etgen-Baker September 2, 2025 at 4:59 PM you're right...the form is choppy...therefore, not my favorite. Thanks for your encouragement, Sara

Joseph P. DiMino September 1, 2025 at 4:24 AM Well said. We have had a few, where I am at, in the past few weeks -- a blessing and joy. sara Etgen-Baker September 1, 2025 at 5:02 PM we finally had a soil soaker a couple of days ago...been six weeks since we'd had rain...loved the smell and the blessing that comes with it....enjoy your evening, Sara
