Whimsygizmo host for d’Verse Poets Quadrille #180: Pouring Out Our Poems invites us to pen a poem of exactly 44 words, including some form of the word water.
I’m in a dramatic stormy mood this morning, so I wrote 44 words about sharp, pointy rain.
Water Daggers
Listen to the wind
Water Daggers The wind howls around and cleaves; Stripping branches of their leaves Water daggers stab in horizontal strokes Chestnuts, willows, elms and oaks Hewing boughs apart asunder Felling great tree trunks in lightning and thunder Strewing striking through the wood Uprooting trees where they stood. Lesley Scoble, July 2023
