James Foulk Poet Free verse

Value of a Rain Drop

Ask a farmer on a dry summer
day, the value of a rain drop,
ask the bird who has went some
time with no water,
the value of a rain drop.

Ask some poor dog who has
been in the sun for
hours, the value of a rain drop,
ask a condememed man who is
about to die,
the value of a rain drop.

Ask the river bed so dry,
the value of a rain drop,
last of all, ask the person in
hell, the value of a rain drop.

Leah Yoho July 25, 2008 at 11:54 AM Good job on this poem. It's true that when you need something bad enough that they'd gladly take it even in the smallest amounts. Once again, great write, Leah.
