Cold wet silver, blue drops fall
slipping down frosted window pane.
Streaked colors of neon lights
bathe city streets of slick black tar
in shimmering, golden hues.
All that yesterday was clothed white
bared by January rain.

soothing and soft.
I can feel the rain with your words.
the imagery is really vivid and captivating.
nice poem. <3 -
a good poem, and it gives me an insight to your author name with poem presented here - a nicely packed format too i think, short and sweet but a powerful scent giving the reading many thoughts to wander down.

I feel the images in this piece are really good but the layout cramps them slightly. A suggestion would be to space the poem a little to give the reader a chance to breathe in each image and metaphor. Perhaps 'all that yesterday was clothed white, bared by january rain' would be more effected if on it's own. The final image of the piece.
