into each life

“Into each life a little rain must fall.” Thank Goodness for such unparched earth as results.

The triple acrostic was tricky when I added the stricture of keeping the total word count under 25. It comes in at 23 when you include the acrostic words. Rhyming L and I didn’t happen, though it could’ve if I could’ve worked in Bain de Soleil and Feng Shui. Didn’t, because a) I’d already done that with another acrostic and b) the far more important fact that it would’ve been nonsensical.

Here’s the four-line, triple, 23-total-words, only-one-of-the-couplets-rhymes-well acrostic:

now add a dash of calamari
to generate a cleft motif
