Raindrop

I wat ch the rain fall , full of wo nder as each drop crashes a gainst the ground and is no more. Th e long, curvy teardro p shape is lost as it spl atters and dies, joining its brothers and sisters. It is no longer rain now, bu t water soaking the earth , wetting the garden, spot ting my eyeglasses, and making my sneakers go ‘squish’ when ever I take a step.

Ah, dear Sara, your raindrop poem is beautiful both visually and poetically. I especially loved "spotting my eyeglasses, and making my sneakers go ‘squish’" - such animated imagery brings me there to "watch the rain" with you. Warmest wishes my creative friend.. ~Susan
