Another marvelous way to start a morning. Thanks for this small gem, Valy Steverlynck, and (always!) thank you SWWIM for the steady supply of wonderful work, again and again and again.

It just occurred to me, wonderful SWWIM poems coming into my inbox, month after month, that I could comment. About what I love. About what I love about this one. Back Seat Sonnet so perfectly captures a moment between these two sisters. The silence of the back seat after years of noise. The gentle gravity of the raindrops, the metaphor of them, the sparkle at the end. ❤️
