Neruda Rain
Rain today,
out of the blue,
warm winds brought
rare rain,
Neruda rain,
words in the
clouds,
coming through.

“Neruda rain” – I love the sound of those syllables, and the image of words sprinkling, drizzling, pouring down on a parched paper – Pablo would be proud!

The beauty of your words are in their simplicity. So well done.

Neruda has shed many tears over the saddest of lines that have been induced and bought much rain to the source

Heather:
“Neruda has shed many tears over the saddest of lines that have been induced and bought much rain to the source” — that’s poetry in the short form!
Thank you, everyone! It really feels like Neruda is fertile like rain!

I live in the rich volcanic area of the Western District of Victoria in Australia. We have been declared a drought area for 12 months or more but several days ago, we had strong winds and then much needed heavy rain. So how appropriate your lines are for me.
