    "Reverse Haiku"

    ^^

    Jessica - You're just making these forms up now, lol Aren't you content with taking the forms there are, mashing them up and making them look ridiculously easy? It seems not, and now - here we have you - creating your own unique one!
    I like the subtle use of rhyme employed here and - as usual - your wonderful imagery.

    Take care

      Haha. Nope. Gotta keep mashing up and rearranging. :) This is actually not my first Reverse haiku. If My Heart Were A Flower is on my profile somewhere. Thanks and take care!

    I like this Jessica, it's very creative to arrange such an ancient form this way. Like a traditional Haiku, this form is about nature, a season. Maybe with the rain clouds help the reader think of the month April and it's associated showers? I think however, that there could be a human link, something about rain and tears equating to a heart opening fully. This form also has a turn, or a pivot (volta) in line 3. Here we see after the rain/tears and revealed truths, there really is only 'surrender ' : surrendering to another completely, perhaps?

    Jessica, if this poem does have a human element, perhaps post as a Senyru, or if it's a bit of both a, Sintuit.

    Either way, a good poem. X
