Confining poetry to 1 month? Never!

Valley Poets are going strong, drafting work feverishly even as the nation comes to the end of National Poetry Month. Paperdollz plans to keep the creative vibe going by continually showcasing poets well into May and beyond if possible (HINT! Keep sending in stuff, no matter who or where you are)!

Today take a moment to meditate on another great poem by one of Stockton's favorites, Thelma Juarez. Enjoy!

After the Rain


unobtrusively,
gently it

adorns the horizon


displaying
colors previously
unseen-

a rainbow

cuddles the earth

and bends


to kiss

the earth
after the rain.
