At last the rain is
Unleashed. It
Tells of the
Unusual occasion when
Melted rock is frozen.
Nobody wants winter.

Andrew says that this must be a real poem because he doesn't understand it. I don't either, but don't care because the words sound so nice together. Should I suggest he re-write the 5th line and try to stay on topic or just leave it as is?
My take on the fifth line is that the 'rock' is ice. Melted ice (ie water, which has been running around since spring) is refrozen in winter, which autumn presages.
ReplyDeleteAt age 8, I'd be very satisfied with the profundity!
No, that's my favourite line. Don't muck around with genius.
