oval living

all I desired
made me an oval …
teardrop with legs

wet and heavy
makes life unsteady …
teardrops wobble

sibling nor friend
has an ear to lend …
tears want to talk

Thanks, CayCay! You shouldn't encourage me - lol. Wobbly teardrop poised to fall, why do you have a Southern drawl? And if I raise my eyes to look, will I find you've grown into a brook on a face that's all aquiver, ruefully destined to be a river, joining tears of sisters and brothers, in life's ocean made by mothers.

Oval teardrop, wet and heavy, are others like you behind the levee? and if the levee should once break, would it be enough to fill a lake?

You wouldn't have asked a question of such depth when you first arrived, now you are philosophizing while rhyming. Man, oh boy howdy, did you have a lot of gifts sitting dormant for decades, I know Spirit smiles that you found them. I do, even give myself a bit of credit for cementing your confident revealing, though it was truly God working thru me. ANSWER: with the number of tears in universal motion, they could effortlessly fill up an ocean.

Best of luck if for contest. Tears are very private -- others only see the release but no one outside can truly understand the personal sensitivity that when into them. Great poetry!
