Raindrops

All the ground is chill and damp,
The pines entwined with morning mist.
Last night the stormclouds left their stamp,
These raindrops which the dust has missed;
And I, the chill and damp of morning mist.

Each needle of the mighty pines
Is tipped with wondrous light;
Pretty rows of lines and lines
Of sparkly prisms beaming bright-
Lines and lines of wondrous light.

Every moment, few by few,
These raindrops tumble thro' the air,
Thro' the mist, to meet the dew,
Making leaves so pretty, resting there:
Few by few, so pretty resting there.

A wonderful description of nature's beauty. I wish that I were more of a morning person, so I could see it for myself... Beautifully written, Isaiah. I enjoyed your poem very much!

wow, this is really nice. I like how you repeated the last two phrases. Oh, NOW I see, it's one of those water poems for Craig's contest. Eileen sure did inspire us with a wonderful form. It's not obvious what it is, and that makes it a great form.

Raindrops, God's tears on His creation. When frozen, his jewels for decoration. Nice write my friend. God Bless. D.
