A waterfall
Journeys to the ground
Sheets of rain
Descending
Fresh downward trail
This covering so cool and mellow
A collection, strings of beads
Drooping
Until it shields and cools you down
A natural partition
it is.

Juliette, just reading this poem is helping with the Alabama heat! Your “strings of beads” image is particularly powerful — thank you for sharing it!

What a beautiful picture created by your words to match the visual you shared. “Journeys to the ground” is a perfect way to describe it.

What I love about this poem is the way your line breaks give us that waterfall of rain. You’ve also chosen your words (especially those verbs!) so deliberately as to create just the right images for your readers. And I can picture the shelter from the rain as well, and what it provides. Just…beautiful.

Ooh, how beautiful! It has been raining here the last few days and I love it so- I will have to try a rainy day poem. The strings of beads really is a strong image.
