Wow.. this is beautiful... i hv not tried this form yet...but your poem has encouraged me to try it out...

'Obscuring sun, the clouds in charge
The ground to cover is quite large
Now wildflowers drink is found
Softly, the rain falls'

^^ the beauty of rainfall is so well described here... wonderful imagery...

Beautiful verses of nature's renewal Rachel! You've done an excellent job on the Rondeau form!

"Softly, the rain falls, nature's tears
Nurturing life as it appears
A soothing, calming, welcome sound
As pitter patters meet the ground
The melody delights my ears"

^my favorite stanza...captures the beauty in listening to a soft rainfall! Well done!

Rachel,

What a splendid poem! I love the rain also!
Bravo:)

Hugs,

Ingrid

This is quite exquisite.

Rachel, Oh I love this, its so tranquil, I love the rain, I could breathe and smell the natural drops of rain around me and now I just would love it to rain and stand out there with it, it brings such warmth and peace in just reading these words like it seems you have placed a piece of paper on the ground and let the rain fall onto it and write from its heart, it was just beautiful to say the least, wow, one of the most clear and amazing nature poems I HAVE EVER READ! 5/5

Rachel you have done such a great job on this challenge. The imagery and word choices are awesome.......I felt I could hear those rain drops softly falling.
Excellent!
Love Cindy

"Softly The Rain Falls"...soothing title for a soothing poem.

"A rainbow in the sky will bend
Tis not what I anticipate
For life anewed is surely great
How could one wish for this to end"

Loved these lines here for the very fact that it conveys a strong message to me in other ways.And thank you for explaining Rondeau.I've learned something new.
