When the noise of cosmic hiss subsided

Well I picture this scene, Valsa, and the feeling it brought on for you. Two of my own poems come to mind—Snail Mornings and Semi-retired in Early Spring. The inspiration we find in nature! Do you know Gerard Manley Hopkins’ sonnet God’s Grandeur? Glen
Thank you for filling my heart with tiny silver droplets of joy with this wonderful poem. You remind us of the beauty of nature under our feet that we might so easily pass by without noticing.
I am indeed pleased to get this rain at last as the country is coming closer to winter's spell now....Valsa...... I wish I could imagine and write like you........Full credit.... though I am posting belated notes.....Valsa.....Your poems are always shiny irrespective of late visit or early visit to your poem's paradise...
Dragonflies performing a ballet in the air Keen observation shows many marvels in nature. Beautifully penned.
Thank you so much sir! These days it rains profuse! The interval between rains with bright sunshine is so pleasant!
Serenic beauty very well captured After It Rained..... While suspended raindrops fell on ones heart giving a way to joyful song. Loved it from your pen Valsa.

A beautiful after maths of the after rains and that too in a lovely style of description that is always associated with Valsa George.
Thank you so much Akhtar ji fo this compliment! I am greatly delighted on getting this comment from a highly imaginative poet like you.....
In that quiet when dream and life coalesced I saw the leaves trembling in the cold Dragonflies performing a ballet in the air Their wings catching glints of sunlight Spiders moving round crystal studded webs Repairing the broken filaments of their gossamer And birds from trees taking off into the sky- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -YES! ! ! ! ! These details are so vivid so real so true that I am standing there witnessing the dragonflies, spiders, and birds doing their thing in the respite from the wind..... just as we return to our daily chores after scrambling under cover from a chaotic downpour of rain or 50 mph windstorm. You are a terrific poet with such a fine and discriminating eye for the details that strengthen and vividly illustrate your work! Awesome, my friend. 10

Beautiful images capturing the richness and crispness post heavy rainfall. Everything suddenly bursts alive with activity as the world steps from her shower and glows in her new clean colors.I love how your pen captures the light and beauty in the ballet of your poems.
Thank you Simone for finding time to read and comment on many of y poems when you yourself don't have enough time to write and post poems! I feel much obliged to you!
Dark cloud quickly vanished and her liquid sorrow went away. Spotless blue sky appeared before and vision was clearly made. Dream and life coalesced. Leaves trembled in coldness. The beauty of nature amazed mind. Light blazoned suddenly and suspended raindrops glittered. Droplets of joy were painted in heart and soul. A great imagery is drawn in this excellently penned poem...10

Soon after rain when there is a soothing coolness in the air, it is pleasant to go for a walk to see the plants and leaves washed clean and the little creatures bustling with activity! Thank you Muhammed!
Marvelous poetry with perfect expressions, rain does indeed bring to life, as the raindrops are suspended in the spiders web, your words are suspended in poetry glittering for all to see with approval! Great poetry here! ! !
