A Single Raindrop - a Magical Plop

One day whilst going out to play I felt a plop upon my head Oh what was that, I cried out loud Then spied the largest blackest cloud Maybe a warning of more to come As he flung a raindrop just for fun Or was he laughing; having a joke Intending to give me a jolly good soak Imagine my joy when combing my hair For this tiny wee raindrop was still hiding there Like a beautiful sphere; a boutonniere Secreted and safe she was inside her lair Translucent and fragile, cupped inside my palm I held her gently, so not to cause harm But sadly the raindrop she rolled on my floor And vanished completely; I saw her no more Cherishing memories of a single raindrop Still yearning to feel that magical plop As rain clouds appear and gather above I look to the sky sending kisses and love Written 14th November 2018 Competition entry for The Raindrop Sponsor Craig Cornish Standard Contest 160 Brian Strand 1st place

Hello Gordon, so good to hear from you and glad you enjoyed the giant plop, haha. I hope you are keeping warm and dry up in Scotland, it has been lovely and sunny here in Eastbourne, although on Saturday we had giant hailstones like frozen plops!!! Kindest thought Ann x
