An awesome depiction of what the heavens illuminate right after the storm has blown over and only the radiant sunshine brings forth a fresh, new beginning.

Good words to remember when we are facing a challenge in life. This too shall pass. We'll get through it and forget about it until we face another storm cloud. Like 'is merely a huddle.' Well done. CONGRATULATIONS on winning the contest.

    Thank you so much, Beas Peas, for your insightful review and kind comments. It was quite a shock this morning, because when I went to bed last night, I had been in joint second place for hours! LOL Thanks again - Cally :)

    It's always a shock and a pleasure to win one now and then. Gives us confidence that our fellow writers think highly of our efforts.

This work has reached the exceptional level

The art work grabbed my attention immediately. The philosophy that follows is soothing to the soul,and whispers the reassurance we all need to hear at one time or another.

"even the largest storm cloud
is merely a huddle
of tiny raindrops
waiting for the sun" // loved your word choices!

Your poem of 23 syllables in 4 lines is in excellent naani form
excellent consonance of L sounds in your first lines
I just love the image of raindrops huddling together to form a cloud
and I love the upbeat message that they are waiting for the sun to arrive :-) Brooke

    Thank you so much, Brooke. Finally, I am "getting it" with some of the form poems. LOL
    Hope you are having a bright and sunny weekend - Cally :)

Love it-and this is pone of of the few entries that has a naani flavor (universally applicable and aphoristic in style). Love the word choice of huddle. Well voiced and effective. Nice presentation.

Good luck!

Warmly, rd

    Thank you so much, Rama.
    I was just starting to think I might have to give up trying to think of something which "expresses one and all" when this idea popped into my head... a good lesson in persistence! LOL
    Thanks again - Cally :)

    Ah yes, yours was one of the very few that addressed one and all...so i am very pleased it won as opposed to the ones that were not true naani. I had stopped entering and voting in contests these last few months, and when the contest voting first opened, i was not happy with the voter's choices...until it shifted! :)
