I did it in high school one day with a friend. We kicked a can in the front of the school in pouring rain and kids were watching from the windows. He’s since passed away so I’ll always remember that day being glad we did it. 🙂
And yeah, us kids also ran in yards in the rain leaving our parents aghast. lol
Thank you for the comment, Adelly. 🙂

Rusty keys enter locks
Speaking words before caughtStreams of tears without sound

Okay, Fia 👌 Thanks for your submission and participation. You’ve made a very good start, with the basic format of a Sonnet down pat … 3 Quatrains and a Rhyming Couplet, and your rhyme-scheme is spot-on. In particular, your topic is interesting, with emotion depth, strong metaphorical imagery, and captivating ambiance that sets the mood. With a b…Read More

The artwork is incredible! The write of course is so your style of unique phrasing. Clever wording to go with the picture, well, vice versa. Your talent is showing!-

Damien, amigo! Thank you!
This was an extra special write because it was such a sad historical event.
The remnants are still here for everyone to view. Not sure how I feel about that.
Having other peoples pain on display. Just feels like such an intrusion.But you know what is pretty cool to display, your rocking avatar’s hair!! Hahaha
Had to lighten up this comment, I meant no offense:)-

I’ve seen the frozen bodies of Pompeii. he families that died together in their homes. I’m sure they would have been happy to have wings to fly away on. Great poem of butterflies and great art work, Adel. 🙂

Hey Tim!
Hey, I’m Adelly to you mister! Where did she go? Hahah
With all the suffering that happened I wanted to make this poem bittersweet.
And I kept having these visions of moths flying around. Some are huge, as big as your hand!
Off my mind went and this is what I came up with. After I finished drawing my first moth, I felt like a proud mama! lol
I’m glad you enjoyed!Thanks for stopping by!

This is pure art in motion. I could just lose myself in the beauty of your poem. I was mesmerized by the impressionist wonder within your poem. A real gem to read tonight.

Oh! This reminds me of when me and my brother would play in the rain when we were kids.
In the front yard we didn’t have stickers so we would be barefoot. Lol
Good times!
