Evening rains



Today my morning
was sunny, contrast half-light
observe evening
the waters dropping your face
ingenuities around hours

    I absolutely loved your 'Evening rains' poem! The way you contrasted the sunny morning with the half-light of the evening was so beautifully done. I could almost feel myself observing the evening and feeling the waters drop on my face. Your use of language is truly captivating and you have a real talent for painting vivid pictures with your words.

    If I had to offer any improvement suggestions, I might suggest focusing on the theme or message of the poem a bit more. While I appreciate the imagery and language you used, I felt like there wasn't a clear theme or idea being communicated. Perhaps you could play around with the words a bit more and really hone in on one particular idea or feeling you want to convey. But overall, fantastic job on this piece!
