Water Can Not Quench

Cold, relentless rain
Pound on heated, fevered skin
Nature seems jealous
Water can not quench, my love
Nor contain this deep yearning

I really like this, Kim, but i noticed after placing poems in round two that I had let yours through with it having capitalized lines. It was a good one and would have done better if you had followed the rules on not using capitalized first lines. Congrats in my contest. It really is a nice one and I am so glad the picture inspired you.

I have another poem to post for later - a naughty limerick I finished last night - had written 4 lines of it 2 days before dad died - wrote 8 poems that day - its odd I had another burst of creativity the day before he was diagnosed with cancer - 11 poems that day - will be worried if it happens again!
