sloping roofs:
splash slides for snow
high noon sun



------------


splash!
sound of molten snow
waters down the cold

Hi Prerna,

I had trouble finding your revision until I read the entire thread. I do prefer the more formal style but "everyone to his/her own".

QUOTE
I want the reader to hear the sound of water.


If you want the reader to hear the sound of water, show them without telling them about it. Suggestions:

splash of water drops
Splash! Liquid cascades

from sloping roofs to ice grounds

from the eaves to icy ground.

sun at work at noon!

Sun frees Winter's grip.

These are just suggestions. Feel free to toss them all.

It is looking much better and I'm sure you will polish it to a beautiful lustre.

Larry

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
