Going out after the rain has stopped
Rows of diminishing raindrops
hanging on park benches, fences,
leaves, occasionally falling
one-two,
one (two&one)
falling into
joining
puddles
rippling the reflection
of retiring storm clouds
leaving town;
a young school girl
holds out her hand
palm open to the sky:
all she catches is sunshine.
She steps out remembering
the umbrella in her bag.

Work has taken quite a bit of my energy lately. I've decided I'll just ride with the ups and downs.

nice....really wonderful on the imagery after the rain and nice transition as well to the girl...glad she got the sun...but still remembered her umbrella...i love the rain...
really nice imagery in this one Raven. Really like the counting aspect early on, as well as the way the format shifted with falling, very nicely done and effective. And I agree with Brian, really like the imagery of the rain, as well as the short, but very effective final line. Very nice. Thanks
Thanks guys. :)
