This compound word verse, Rain, has the proper formatting and brings the readers through the water cycle one time and ends on the high point of God's promise. Nice.

Beautiful imagery. You have manipulated the complex form expertly to tell the story of the rainstorm with effortless rhyme and those clever last lines. Well done. Really effective writing. John x

Comment from karenina
Wow. This is pretty darn awesome! So many forms and so little time! I think I'd enjoy trying to write one of these... (It'll go on my poetic form bucket list for sure)--
Great rhymes, perfect count, and a tale of rain (and rainbows) that held my interest and made me smile!

Hi Karenina,
Thank you for the enthusiastic review. I'm glad this verse made you smile. I know, so little time and such much to write. I'll never live long enough. LOL.
Have a great week.

Comment from Wendy G
I like the format, it is interesting and different. The compound word you chose lends itself to the beautiful and lyrical imagery you chose. I like the way you antipated the storm and then moved into more detail with the droplets, the rain, the puddles, and then the aftermath with the rainbow. Lovely work.

This is so cool! I haven't had time to read up on the latest potlatch challenge but I'm glad you did it! And you made it seem fun and easy. I like how there was a great anticipation of rain and the drops turned into a drizzle into a downpour and finally was the rainbow - fitting ending to the fulfilled promise!

Hi Helen,
Thank you for the enthusiasm and the analysis of the theme. I'd never seen the form before, so thanks to Shelley Kaye for the prompt.
Have a wonderful week!

Comment from Jim Wile
This was very well done, Debi. I love the form of this poem, and you followed its rules perfectly. Perfect, unforced rhyming, plus the meter was spot on.
I loved the personification you used throughout from the thirsty ground, to the lightning casting a spell, to the ground drinking, to the pools staking a claim, and finally to the sun caressing a rainbow out of the storm. Wonderful job. - Jim

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
What an interesting poetic form. You really have to concentrate on three things: telling a story, making it rhyme, and making sure all the end words connect to the title with a compound word. You nailed it!
Thanks for telling us about this.

I love when the ground greedily takes the rain. There is nothing more relaxing than seeing and listening to rain. I fall asleep listening to a rain soundtrack most every night. This was beautiful. The imagery and feeling were delightful. Gretchen

Hi Gretchen,
Yes, I love when the ground sucks up the moisture, too. I also love a good rainstorm. It is so soothing. I appreciate the encouraging comments about the writing.
Have a great week.

Comment from royowen
Rain is so important to the land, whether men are predicting a drought, but I'm going to pray against that, because it's still God who determined the seasons we have. This is beautifully written Debi, blessings Roy

Hi Roy,
I agree, pray for the rain that is needed. The weather forecasters are not in control; God is the one who determines the weather. I appreciate the kind comment about the writing.
Have a great week.

Comment from BethShelby
This is nice compound word poetry. I be delight if the we got the here. We've not hardly any rain for a month. I like how you start with the darkening sky which seems likely to indicate a storm. It starts with one drop and goes in the a really nice rain that satisfies the dry cracked and end with the promise. The rainbow.

Hi BethShelby,
I hope you get the rain you need. I understand. We've been in a drought situation for a few years now with water rationing, etc.
Thank you for the analysis of the theme and encouraging comments.
Have a great week.
