Two beautiful cats on my page! Thank you for your kindness. How is Benji, then? Still a hell-raiser? LOL :~D ~Jess K. ----------------------- "Sprawling on the fringes of the city in geometric order an insulated border in between the bright lights and the far un-lit unknown" - Rush

Dear Jessica,

Not a tear; collectively a torrent. What sadness lets you write so well? Brian

Thanks, Brian

Just small little things all piling up to one big ball. Most of which are beyond my control, but I fret about anyway. But I thank you for your kind comment. ~Jess K. ----------------------- "Flying so high, trying to remember How many cigarettes did I bring along?

Might I suggest ...

a well-placed (perhaps, depending on your meaning) hyphen, as in The cold[-]falling rain and a double spelling correction (in the same word) to conform with Webster's: God’s [overabundant] tears Trickle down my face also Note the removal of the hyphen after over. But also note the change of e to a in -ant. Seems appropriate. Somehow. Yours, Chuck

You're absolutely correct.

Thank you for that oversight. I will make the changes immediately. I appreciate it. =) ~Jess K. ----------------------- "Flying so high, trying to remember How many cigarettes did I bring along? When I get down, I'll jump in a taxi-cab Driving through London-town to cry you a song..." - Jethro Tull

Rain

Jess Haiku I never really understood this form? Short and sweet Rain Mmmmmmmm I know this well. I cry a lot as I walk in the rain as no one can see my free falling tears that I wear on the outside as well as within. The ocean's I cry these days with nothing to look forward too just at a stand still. On a bridge I stand over a small stream. My tears fall freely below. Into the stream to flow on regardless to meander travel to parts unknown. That's me. The sun comes out my tears evapourate clouds form for my tears to free fall again from above. The circle of life continues but why do I? Electric blue lonesome blue, so blue

Maggie

I think it's based on syllables?? 7 for the first, 5 for the second, and then back to 7 for the third?? I'm definitely not the person to ask about the intricacies of poetic structure... LMAO! I see you turned your comment into a poem - I like it. Hope things start looking up for you, girl. =) ~Jess K. ----------------------- "Why worry? There should be laughter after pain.
