Rain
Cold and wet
Gently falls on earth
Cleansing the world for a fresh
Start

18 April 2017 at 9:23 pmOddaquain, the name itself is so odd! What odd thoughts might have gone in the mind of the creator of this form to name it such a way!
Loved the poem although.

I loved your poem, but I didn’t like this form. Again, too short for me.
