Autumnal


Run, rain, run,

in my eyes
on my face
in my place

Drop, droplet, drop,

with a ring
on a string
of my heart

Blow, wind, blow,

through the leaves
in the wings
of my soul

Shine, sun, shine,

with a hope
at the height
of my life

This is great. I particularly liked:

"Drop, droplet, drop,

with a ring
on a string
of my heart"

I'm experiencing the rain you speak of today.

Just lovely!

Thank you, Paul. Yes, we too had a rainy day yesterday...

Thank you, Lisa!

It definitely has the rhytm of the slow dripping of an autumn rain.
I liked this small and easy poem.

Beautiful in it's simplicity! Images that we all can relate to.

Vesper said...

Thank you, Szelsofa. Despite the dark, wet day, I was much happier when I finished this little poem and, in the end, the rain stopped and the sun came out too.

Bernita, thank you!

Glad you liked it, Vanilla! Thank you! xoxoxo

Akasha, thank you! It sounded a bit like a song in my head...

Thank you, Aine. Yes, simple things, no philosophy, just some thoughts on a rainy morning...

That's a really striking poem, Vesper. Well done.

And that photo...wow! I wish I took it.

I love this delicate, dripping rhythm here. Those are my favorite kinds of poems--when form and meaning connect so cleanly.

Fabulous poem, Vesper! And the photo is so evocative. :)

Vesper said...

Thank you, Sarah! :-) Yes, it had a rhythm that played like rain in my heart - but not a sad rain... :-)
