Carved up - curved down. 

               Rings - bubbles - blots on a copy book - 

                            prayers on a Sunday 

                                          Waiting still for rain

               No danger of rain - some chance of rain

                                         Gutters and drains. 

                                                    Pristine - clean - 

               untattered - non-battered 

                                       Heading for a fall
 

                                                                Up - down

                          That's all
