Waterdroplets Gives Life

Now lies the waterdroplet on the edge
Excess moisture wrung from the foggy air
Droplets that are somehow a reserve hedge
Drops that all the insects, birds, lizzards share

French Tarragon pointed leaves perfect shape
For water to collect travel down tip
Hang suspended surrounded by cloudscape
Time seems to stand still few hours 'till slip

Gone with the heat of the appearing sun
There for just short time so that all can drink
The sun has done a good job and you spun
Dry as in a modern dryer in a wink

To all things there is a season but some short
Can some be extended _ not early thwart

It's been raining all day, so nature has been nourished. But most of the time, it's just as you say: the sun appears and dries up the lifegiving moisture that forms overnight. Stunning sonnet, Sara! Love, Carolyn

In those early morning hours, the birds and plants have to make the most of the moisture that forms, Sara. As you say so eloquently, the sunlight quickly dries the morning dew. A beautiful sonnet about nature. Best to you, Diane

Hello Sara, Lovely poem, thank you for your comment, yes the world, you and i, are made of 70% to 90% water. Water shapes to beautiful crystals on beautiful thoughts and things, what we are thinking is shaping ourselves and the world! When i drink or bath in water i think love, gratitude, health, youth!!!LOL. I have lost 5 stone in weight and shaping my life to follow my dreams! Thank you, Love Simone
