Carrie Richards Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Patterns On Glass

Scattered patterns made by rain
cascade down my window pane 
Over glass a teardrop trail
navigates without a sail

I must stand by, helplessly
as they glisten in the light
keeping vigil through the night
in fear they're lost at sea
