Rain

A series of haikus to describe a raining scene.

Silver raindrops fall

Caressing my waiting lips

A soft lullaby

 

Slipping down my face

And body, so sweet and quiet

A beautiful scene

 

Chilling my bare skin

But warming me to my soul

A loving embrace

 

Dark rain clouds rolling

Fresh air, cleansing and gentle

A flourishing life

 

Clear and smooth rain shards

So calm, has no substitute

A priceless world

The imagery is beautiful and very water-like. The rhythm definitely fits the theme of rain.

Congrats on your second win for this haiku string!

I didn't even notice it was a set of haikus until I glanced at Howl's review. Shows how much I know about poetry...and how much I pay attention to writer's descriptions.

This had an excellent flow to it. I could see the rain. I could feel it. Well done.

A very beautiful poem about rain. Excellent imagery and the poem reads so well, it has a nice flow to it. I think is very very good.

Great work! This is a beautiful string of haikus. I love how they can each be separated as single haikus or put together like this to paint such a lovely picture. The imagery is brilliant!
