Best Dewdrops Poems
You hang there on the rise of dawn
Bending twigs where you cling,
Glistening gems on sunlit lawn,
Where I greet you before you're gone,
Before my passions forlorn ding
While you gleam rays of spring.
How long dear will you glint and glow
Upon vibrant realm green,
My heart and I would like to know
For zephyrs of west will soon blow
To dethrone you from where you preen;
Oh! force of gale is mean.
How ardent you paint golden morn
Blushing on canvas gray;
Glinting rays my sight you adorn,
Assuaging grievous yore lovelorn
As verdant limbs gentle winds sway
Waltzing with lucent day.
Time has risen to bid goodbye,
Yet, you flinch, loath to part,
As sun paints arc in gamboge dye
When a fervent tear sparks your eye,
Heartening warmth love-vibes impart
Vowing to cure my heart.
filtered through cotton-colored clouds
golden rays of sunlight emerge
trapping dancing-dewdrops in their beams
brightening welcoming skies
the meadow an artist's canvas

Quote: Every day is a page to write a new story.
DAILY DEWDROPS
Freshly fallen snow,
no print left yet.
An empty box,
with no pretty bow.
I get down on my knees,
to write a prayer -
a wistful prayer of bittersweet.
My finger shivers in the breeze.
I cursively draw,
on this wall of white.
As snowflakes fall
from eyelashes, I bawl.
A white bunny’s hop halts,
little twitching eyes read my poetic plight.
Dripping from my index pen, a blizzard of tears -
erases all of my faults.
Tomorrow, I will start anew,
writing my escapades
on a pristine white carpet -
perhaps many words, perhaps a few.
And what might each day bring?
A quilting upon white cotton…
An epic on framed canvas…
My emoticons might vary, but dutifully I sing!

"Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need."
By Mother Teresa
dewdrops
on Lotus leaves
each moment.. quivering,
shivering, trembling, translucent
lucid
vanish
flick of an eye!
contentment is a bliss…
happiness a godsend blessing
rare boon
cherish
every moment
hold love tight, don't let go
though every second counts, fragile
is life

POEM OF THE WEEK May 27 - June 3
Petal's begin bloom
growth receiving rays of light,
trope glorious heights...
when dewdrops run dry,
and the sun warms the new day
one by one I’ll pick
the petals of cherry's blooms
gently falling in your palm.

Darling you honey are a picture
goddess posing inside beholding
Kisses blushing lips pure magic
Sweetest music plays in a song babe
blossoming rose living memory
hair falling down great Niagra falls
silk fine satin, down sweetly, softly
Caressing jewels touching deep shines
Dark mysterious beauteous lips
ruby blushing red inside desires
Warmly with never ending feelings
within the softest emotions smile
everything about you darling sings
Honey draws for me a picture sun
rising love sure shines true beautiful
Pure in the west your the sun's dewdrops
crystal clear whom rises so many
smiles how I see you in the heart flies
9 syllable count dreaming in the clouds
With each small spec of dew
that lays upon each leaf,
each morning; it brings such
freshness to the world.

soft
dew drops
quivering
on lotus leaves
lithe jui flowers sprawled
white orange-hued buds
clouds glide tangerine sky
koels croon symphony
mehndi bushes
faint fragrant
birds soar

In early morn, no dewdrops adorn
Lacy fern-leaf fennel
We're in a drought, and raindrops I mourn
As miraculously is born
A Fuchsia zinnia one sweet morn
Through a crack, so gentle
How can it survive and seem to thrive?
With limited water
No dew adorns, sun arrives
Temperatures way past ninety-five
It seems Satan has a plan contrived
To make earth dry, hotter
We'd prefer dewdrops 'pon roses
Cool gardens with basil
Those fragrances that tickle noses
Fills the eyes, which none opposes
Butterflies 'pon lily poses
Dewdrops reflect, dazzle!

A dewdrop for inspiration
Loneliness in the air
Hangs on my sweat, perspiration,
With sunshine an expiration
Gets caught in my eyelashes there
Will anybody care?
A dewdrop on a muggy morn
Clinging to the wet grass
Soon after the new day is born
Knowing its end makes me forlorn
But I know this also will pass
Dewdrops remind of glass.
Dewdrops like magic disappear
Like whispers quickly gone
Its suddenly wiped like a tear
And now it is no longer here
Evaporated with the dawn
No more on my front lawn.

quivering dewdrops on Lotus
leaves, remind stark impermanence
of life, every droplet shaking
hint sad truth of worldly transience!
Lotus, the most gorgeous flower
on earth, rare to vision around,
floating in miraculous streams
where nature's sacred songs abound!

Notes: The lotus has a life cycle unlike any other plant. With its roots latched in mud, it submerges every night into river water and miraculously re-blooms the next morning, sparklingly clean. In many cultures, this process associates the flower with rebirth and spiritual enlightenment.
