The many notes
of the falling rain,
all in tune.
Photo by Adiel Gardner, Poem by Don Wentworth
The poem was previously published in “Past All Traps” (Six Gallery Press, 2011).
Adiel Gardner has been photographing the world around her since she fell in love with the art form at the age of 13. Portraiture is her current main focus as it allows her to capture the sometimes hidden beauty in people. She lives in Erie, PA, with her husband and four children, who are her first audience and greatest work of art.

Captures the music of the rain and nature's innate harmony, as well as giving us a new look at the beauty of the rainy season. So very lovely. Thank you.

Absolutely lovely, Don. We're well used to rain here in Ireland! :)
By the way, thanks for sending me the lovely little copies of the Lilliput Review which arrived a few days ago. They are so cute and I'm going to carry them about in the back pocket of my jeans so I can read them whenever I want!!!

Clean haiku. The kind of haiku that will have me tilting my head to listen to the rain for the rest of my life.

For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.
