After The Rain(Rondelet)

After the rain
Pretty rainbow arcs in the sky
After the rain
The air is fresh and pure again
Rain wet leaves,flowers please the eye
Nature's beauty gives me a high
After the rain.

    I've always been quite fond of a good rain myself and I did enjoy reading this piece. It takes me back to a summery day that stands out in my life. Thanks for the memories.

    Very happy poem with a great rhyming style...short and very sweet. I especially love the line, "nature's beauty gives me a high"...I echo this thought.

    Those moments after the rain has passed...I think they're actually more peaceful then "the calm before the storm". I'm reading and reading your Rondelets, and every time I read another one, I'm convinced that it is a really beautiful form to write in, which you have mastered. Fantastic capturing of the moment!

    Cute. I just found out that if I don't go in comments "I like to ping bras" we get bounced. Nice write but if this is going to be competitive lets not get bounced by stuff like that. My muse says most contests are rigged anyway but since this is my first it matters. Nice write but over my head. Pun. Ciao.
