A pool of water created from the sky
Falling, spraying and saying good-bye
I woke to hear the thunder clap,
The lightning comes after the gap
The hose of rain ironed the land
With a beat of those in a band
My jeans are soaked to the skin
But I run with a grin
Bare feet touch the ground
So gingerly without a sound
The thunder and rain soften
Though I’ll think of it often
Falling, spraying and saying good-bye
I woke to hear the thunder clap,
The lightning comes after the gap
The hose of rain ironed the land
With a beat of those in a band
My jeans are soaked to the skin
But I run with a grin
Bare feet touch the ground
So gingerly without a sound
The thunder and rain soften
Though I’ll think of it often

I asked for left align and prose/freeverse only in this contest. I'm going to have to DQ this poem. sorry.
I really like all the imagery in this piece though. it's very nice. great write. -
A nicely flowing and visually beautiful poem

You did a good job with this. And as for the endings... they're both good. I think that soften and forgotten DO rhyme. Who told you they don't???
Fifty lashes with a poem filled pen for them
Keep up the good writing
