Valsa, this tanka uses a lot of imagination, which I really loved. A little hint if you write tanka for me again, don't capitalize the lines. Loved the personification here. Congrats in my contest

Beautiful Tanka. 'Nimbus clouds" - what a stunning imagery! The added charm is the personification of raindrops and Mother Earth. Love and best wishes ~ Mala
