Congratulations to Nicole Collett, SPARK student, for having her poem, Ode to Rain, selected as a semifinalist for the 2021 Royal Palm Literary Awards competition.
Rain, dripping on a dewy drenched day
Drizzling on rooftops, water at play
Rain, desperately dancing in the sky
Waiting for the storm clouds to pass by
Rain, whirling whipping wind while
Accumulating in frozen piles
Fierce and cold like a blinding blizzard
Making its way like an arctic wizard
Rain, condensing muffled and mild
Blissfully blowing in a cloud pile
Tranquil pillows drifting on the breeze
Like crested waves on the foamy seas
