We interrupt your (ir)regularly scheduled programming to bring you a few selections of poetry. Please critique.
A Gentle Shower
Step here, a thin puddle–
there a wide lake.
Splash every puddle, see
lake in the muddy droplets.
Warm bath water–
a secluded spring.
Soak in porcelain tub,
trailing trees all around.
A gentle shower
washes all the leaves away.
See limbs and branches,
free of modest leaves.
Rushing river–
swirling down the drain.
Swollen currents carry
to shores of muddy lakes.
A gentle shower
washes all the mud away.
See skin and veins,
clean, pale and green.
