"not That Easy"

You let me fall like a raindrop on the floor... Just mixed in a storm and left to be no more... I'm just another drop from a cloud of rain... But you know deep inside I don't taste the same... Left on the walkway to just dry up and go away... But that's just not me, I'll splitter splatter my own way... Life goes on and more clouds shall come and go... But this little raindrop has a lot more to show... The "Blink Contest" by John Heck

Michael, a sad wasteful feeling. A hard motion in life when one does not mean to hurt the one they love. It's harder when the one you love drops you with the tears. When they have no more to shed, as life passes by one will never forget. Or should I say one will never let the other forget. You know rain speaks louder than the ground..Enjoyed your poem, have a nice one,..p.d.

I really like the spirit in this write. Often when people led you down, it is as if they expect you to be down. Gives them a feeling of power or something. It is sad though because this kind of experience does alter our faith in people somewhat. And yet, you are right. You won't be anyone's victim and indeed you rise again. Great write! Thanks for sharing and thank you for your kind comments on my latest. Best to you, Caroline.

I hope you're entering this one in John Heck's "Blink" contest. It approaches the feeling of loneliness in a very creative way with the visual imagery, Michael. Glad you can still muster the enthusiasm to go on after the clouds pass overhead. Love, Carolyn

Enjoyed reading this one..The comparison to raindrops added interest. Reads as if the one who was hurt has a great deal of spunk and will spring back and keep on going...Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..I was delighted at your encouraging comments..Sara
