Today’s poem is a form I’m unfamiliar with–a solage. I think I cheated, because only the first two lines are really supposed to rhyme? But here’s today’s imagepoem for Laura Shovan’s #WaterPoemProject.

I love rain. There are few times I wish fervently for it not to rain, but I know those times are much more frequent for young athletes and their families. Today’s prompt was to write about water in two stanzas with opposite viewpoints. Here’s today’s imagepoem for Laura Shovan’s #WaterPoemProject.
