The scent of first rain
As my touch, pitter patters
Your unloved skin.

  2. "Your unloved skin" <3

    And if you're a stickler for perfect syllable counts the last line only has 4. But don't edit!

  3. @K Thank you, but what happened to Dr-Pt confidentiality?!

    @A I knew you would say that! See, no label. In fact, this line typed itself of it's own accord, in place of the drafts I had in mind. Those were only a syllable different, but after this it seems like they won't measure up. I guess, beauty doesn't always follow rules. It just dances it's way into words, merrily and carefree.
