The Skies Blessing

.
...
.....
.......
.........
the petals of a rose
shimmer -
in the droplets.
.........
.......
.....
...
.
...
.....
.......
.........
the thread of a spiders web
glitters -
in the storm.
.........
.......
.....
...
.
...
.....
.......
.........
the desert thrives off
the hope -
that there will be rain.
.........
.......
.....
...
.
...
.....
.......
.........
the rain is the skies
blessing -
to earth.

    dear ballerina,
    I find your poem very beautiful in its simplicity and profoundness. your wonderful imagery brings the blessings of rain to us in a very vivid and enchanting way. drawing our attention to a petal of a flower or to a web of a spider, you show great love for the simple things in life and for the beauty of creation. I share this love for nature with you.
    it was also a very nice idea to put your poem in form in this way, I truly find it very artistic and creative.
    thank you very much for your precious participation in the contest.
    many bright blessings,

    maa
