My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.
THE POEM
A poem dedicated nature, it's ebbs, it's flows, and the essence of life.
WHAT I LIKED
I could easily see the scene in front of me, the rain, and the Earth enjoying a delicious drink of water.
STRUCTURE
This is Japanese style of poetry called "Naga Uta." A description of the style of poetry is in a dropnote at the bottom.
MECHANICS
I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read and has a nice flow when read out loud. Good use of WDC ML to increase the font and make it easy to read.
DESCRIPTIONS
I liked: "Life giving rain falls on the thirsty ground below." I can see the action playing out, the rain storm, the ground soaking up the water. The description is vivid, but it also hints at emotion. That the Earth is being sated with the water and finding happiness from a cool drink, much like we do on a hot summer day. Nice depth with this description.
PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS
The opening engages the reader, and keeps them reading. The title fits the poem well. Vivid expression.
