Rain Drop

imaginary garden with real toads    Prompt Here
            A Birthday in September ~ William Carlos Williams


Rain drop, I picture you on your cloud

high above the earth looking down

from your misty perch on eagles and

high flying hawks freewheeling, swooping.

Desire builds to fly through the air...

so you jump,  free falling,  plunging, loving the rush

of wind then crash into a leaf, kerplink,

making it bow, you slide to the tip

and drip onto a blade of thirsty grass

and wait for it all to begin again.

  1. Your focus on subject is very much on point - I followed the fall of a single raindrop with much delight. I love your choice of words in this poem, especially the 'kerplink'!

  2. Thank you. I keep thinking it is just descriptive. I have so enjoyed reading the other poets' work. They have been good examples.

  4. I love the way you wrote your poem and how I could feel and sense the raindrop and its rhythm!
