Just One Drop

After some heavy rainfall in the night.

Can you hear me falling?
Until I splash to the ground.
Do you hear me at your window?
As I pitter patter, lightly on the sill.

In different places
I make different sounds.
Do you listen
To them all?

Gloriously I worship you
From head to toe.
Refreshing you,
Renewing you.
Rebuilding you.

Then
As quickly as I appeared,
I'm gone again.
And only silence follows.
If you listen
All
You hear
Is
….. Husssssshhhh.

A chaffinch chirps.
A cricket plays.
A crow squawks.
A tree rustles.
And a song bird sings.

Do you prefer the world
With out me?
To some I am miserable.
To others I revitalise.

Is the world
Better
Or worse
Without the morning dew
On the daisies?

A real refreshing poem to read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Who was your muse? Where did you get the inspiration from I wonder :P tee hee, just teasing.

we all need the morning dew - its a sign of the new morning, and at that moment I always feel there is a stillness in the air, as if everything is at peace for just a few moments.

Its amazing with what one little thing can do.

Very soft, as soft and as delicate as a dew drop....
A dew drop gives the new day a new look.........

Good job.

Well written piece.
I loved the reference to how some dislike rain and others think it renews.
that is so true.
Great poem.

This is a beautiful and dramatic description of the subject.

You made the piece grand and outstanding through the vivid portrayal of rain.

MORE POWER!!!

Kinda like the rain as long as I can watch it from inside. The morning dew though is something else though bringing an almost spectural quality to the start of the day.
Lovely images here and you've made me think of more.
Thanks for sharing.

How gorgeous! I find that not enough people appreciate rain. I bask in it.

I love how you explain the rain, what it does to humans and animals. Yet questions its existance, does it bring more happiness than sorrow? I adore it.

Well, Gillian in London, we will miss you and your wonderful writing such as this one. You did a great job with this piece and I enjoyed it a lot. I hope that you are enjoying your time in London. :)

I like the musical feel of this piece, Gillzy. Playful. Interesting that you've structured this in a series of questions, which opens this piece for the reader's exploration. Movement from the rain to the sounds as the rain ends and the sun breaks free. Very nice.

Nice picture of rain. I love the sound of rain myself (and we sure have heard a lot of it this summer.) I think you did an excellent job capturing the feel of a morning rain shower -- and you are right. There is nothing like a good rain to make sleeping lovely. :)

Yeah at first this poem sounded like an Ex-Girlfriend pleeing to her ex-boyfriend how she wants him back LOL..... but you were writing about Rain Drops...now this is true poetry that can make us the Reader visualise 2 things at once.....brilliant
