Sweet Rain

Sweet rain drops tapping on the window panes
leaving trails on sills and ivy
in a rush like soft liquid, 
crystals fall, then vanish
‘neath the thirsty earth
and nourishes
the flowers;
earth worms
too!

Very nice write. No water is like rain water.

Oooh I quite like this. And thought it was most clever how you described the rain droplets gliding across the glass and then eventually to the ground... it felt perfect considering how the nonet form dwindles down one syllable at at time. Vibrant images!

What a serene moment! Great job with the form as I found it somewhat difficult.
