Being a Raindrop

I float through the air, amazed at how cool I am feeling Landing on the top of an oak. She lets me slide through her trees. I ooze under a couple of ants, who give me barely a glance. I am from heaven, I want to say, but that might be arrogant. So I keep oozing, without a word, silent, and steady. Another raindrop splashes on my face. What the heck! Now I do not know where I end and she begins. She smirks and laughs. If there is one thing I do not like it is …. Bam! We are assaulted with ten more raindrops. What the heck! I had no idea this could happen. CRACK! Zeus is driving a chariot through the sky apparently. The sky gets dark. I am sloshed down the tree, landing on the ground. Still unsure whether I am still me, or just a part of them. I am Delaware, another raindrop tells me. She asks what has happened. I have no idea. Even if I knew in another incarnation, I do not have words now. I am a cold, wet, unhappy raindrop, oozing into a slithery mud puddle. A fat ugly worm begins rolling into me. Making my day even less perfect.

This one I totally relate to Caren, I often wonder if all the tiny particles of water on the planet are somehow connected to each other, your poem says yes, fluidic thinking, fantastic poem, cheers David

Poor little raindrop has become a puddle full of drowning worms. Cute one Caren. God Bless, JB
