This week’s DVerse quadrille word is “rain.”
I see evidence of rain on the concrete:
No longer coming from the sky
But not yet completely dry,
I neither saw nor heard it overnight
Yet its presence is sensed.
May my life be like this gentle rain,
When it has gone by.
Nice line–without seeing or hearing it, yet: “Yet its presence is sensed”

I love the contrast of concrete and gentle rain,
‘No longer coming from the sky
But not yet completely dry’,
and the fact that no rain was experienced, just sensed. The final lines are beautiful.

Lovely sentiment here and a unique take on rain theme! I think I would change the final “away” to “by” as that would carry your earlier rhyme of “sky” and “dry”…just my opinion 🙂 it’s your poem!
