Like Rain

I catch rain bringing 

fresh pieces of sky 

to the earth below.

Tasting the air

from up there

tames my tongue.

I could catch you like rain.

I would use you, fill you...

sky water on earth,

then bake us in my fire.

I really liked this but an ad keeps me from posting a cpomment

[Mark]

ya, several people had problems. Must be something to do with the length of the poem and the picture I think. Thanks for taking the time though!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Glad it was not just me then. An ad was plastered over the comments box so I had to write unsighted. Must have been a blip?

[Mark]

most ads have a 'x' in the upper right so you can make them go away... did your ad not have that?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

No I tried everything I could think of. Guess it was some sort of glitch.

[Cody Williams]

Nature often feels soft and fresh and beautiful just as our honest desire for the person we love. nice Mark.

[Jack...]

Thanks Jack. I"m glad you like :)

HI Mark, I'm adding my review to Jack's because the advertising banner is blocking the 'my review space'. Love the concept of this piece nature meets erotica. Excellent write.

[Leslie Philibert]

Like here the tension evoked by the imagery, at first contradictory, then original in effect !

[icelandicblue]

You have used all the elements here to create a very intense poem of fevered desire. I had trouble posting the advertisement was hanging over the box and I couldn't see what I was typing. The poem is succinct and sizzling with emotion.

Thank you, apparently they make you pay to be the first reviewer !! :)
