analogy, imagery, metaphor, nature, rain, simile, water,
Monitoring self,
nature made her decisions:
disaster rained down…
The water rose—
Life sank beneath the level;
hope floated above…
Like Noah, we wait…
flooding water standing still—
Vultures roost on wires.

pine cones drop like tears
from a weeping willow's bough

over beds of crimson rust
uncovering seeds
