Grace Rain

  She’s tired, so tired, tired of lists and the obligatory dance of the well-worn rut, the choreography of the damned. So she’s letting go, letting it fall, raindrops baptising tear ducts in a redemptive soak, epsom salts of grace.

She’s tired,

so tired,

well-worn rut, the

damned. So she’s

letting go, letting

it fall, raindrops

baptising tear ducts

in a redemptive soak,

epsom salts of

grace.

    Epsom Salts of grace! Do you ever use Epsom Salts on your garden? I am told it is very good but i haven’t actually tried it.

      No I haven’t! I was thinking more of a nice long bath soak… 🙂 I’ve heard they are good for getting rid of pests…

        Epsom Salts; seems they work miracles 🙂

    “Choreography of the damned”–wow, Mel, if you never wrote another word, those would seal your place among poet laureates (in my humble and correct opinion). I LOVE that!!!

      🙂 I rather liked it myself… Glad your opinion is both humble AND correct!!

    That sounds like a great idea and the imagery even more enticing.

    Dear melody, hope this finds you well. clocked your poem on a reblog from a pal of mine (and rightly so, great poem). Reading the comments here makes me aware i am not alone in thinking that ‘Choreography of the damned’ is a magnificent line, made me think and re-think and read the poem over and over. Well done, m’lady, excellent piece. Keep smiling and keep writing, kind regards from Baldy 🙂

      Why thank you, kind sir! 🙂 I appreciate your visit, and your kind words…
