Downpour

the window
rain running down

just a few inches
visible grass

For 'Finding Your Way Home' written as another me — recalling observations of my child self.

For dVerse, a tenWord poem, sourced from a longer piece I once wrote about childhood experiences.

  4. To me there is a tone of loneliness in this.

    Tender fingertips

    1. A sweet interpretation, Bjorn, and i love your verse in reply. In fact I was simply interested in how much the heavy rain hid the view. :)

  5. this poem sounds like a great one to read on a chilly day when there is a steady drizzle...while sitting before a warm fire, of course!
