Soaked

rain pours into her hair
dripping down onto the ground
she's laughing and breathing
spins in a puddle at her feet
her clothes are soaking
but her eyes are sparkling
(looking up at him)
in the middle of the rain
(together again)

    I like it

    I love the imagery in this poem, and its emotional climate. I also like how you used half rhymes. I sorta like the ( ) lines . I also like how you said the rain "pours into " her hair , showing that it isn't just surface wet but soaked, that was great. The rhyme scheme is very attractive.
