Notes About The Poem

Bite size contest 142, Line Gauthier

Single Drop

Needed: unsung heroes, with no need for fame.
Be a piccolo or cymbal in the symphony of rain.
—by poet 

Single Drop jumping into single drop landing with a belly flop dancing with all, dousing land Spring’s crush inside portioned crop

Hi Kim, poems like this are so important for those who need a reason to be glad to alive. I think the number of people who have survived tough times thanks to poets and their healing words would be huge. I have been computerless and have a whole lot of handwritten poems to type and post. Glad you are still posting. best regards David in NZ
