Hi Bermy,
Thank you so much. I actually used to be here 2005-2006ish but have only recently returned. It's nice getting to know everyone. I'm having fun :)

Excellent

An excellent entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt. I love the personification of nature drinking the rain. The artwork is perfect for the poem. If I were to make a suggestion it would be to remove the punctuation and capital letters and make it in the format of a traditional Haiku. It isn't required but I think it would look much nicer in presentation. nicely written.

I enjoyed this 5-7-5 poem for the prompt. You got the syllable count right, and your subject was lovely. I love the personification in this piece. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
