Sweetness Dripping

The rain drips slowly on supple petals. Moist gentle breeze blows soft against bending stems of verdant color. Dancing crystals blink bright in lost morning dreams. Drip, drip from each crimson flower, I watch your splendor, seeking solace, caught in meager meadows waving, grains of grass forever moving with your wisps of breath is dripping, longing for dawns light you quiver, as drops of rain kiss tender leaflets that drink the nectar freely given.

I think this is one of the most accurate looking shapes I've seen in a poem ... awesome job on the raindrop, James, and lovely words to boot. How long did it take you to get that shape just right?

Hi Timothy, thanks for the visit and the comment. I wrote it back in December and honestly don't remember how long it took which probably means not too long.
