Calm During the Storm

[Elizabeth Grace Martinez]

beautiful imagery

[Daniel Henderson]

Thank you so much Elizabeth!

[Margaret Ann Silver]

I can hear this/see this so clearly, while you also turn the rain drops into drop-sized gems:

"and all that remains

is the soft tiny jewels

of pittering and pattering"

[Daniel Henderson]

Thank you Margaret! 'Drop-sized gems' is perfect! I'm going to have to add that one to my notebook if I write another rain poem.

[Mo Issa]

Thank you for sharing this piece—with a beautiful message to find calm amidst the chaos.

[Daniel Henderson]

Thank you for your comment Mo. It's a message I've held onto before writing this poem since some found it strange to find calm during a storm.

[Aaron Waddell]

Wonderful 🤗

[Daniel Henderson]

Thanks as always Aaron!

[Mary Pierce]

"on nights that produce

more solace than rainwater

in streets without storm drains—"

Mmm. Yes.

[Daniel Henderson]

Thank you Mary. That set of lines are the ones I'm most proud of in this poem. So happy they stood out.
