One Drop

One single,

tiny,

solitary

drop of rain

meanders

down my

window pane.

Slowly

trailing

it’s descent;

to join

a puddle

it is meant.

At the bottom

there’s a drop,

down it goes,

it doesn’t stop.

A bit like

the single,

solitary

tear

that falls from

my eye.

Slowly

travelling,

cheek to

jaw

before it

splatters

to the floor.

This said so much in so few words, Hully. Very poignant and a great piece.

This is really good! The somewhat choppiness makes the rhyming scheme much more noticeable. The imagery was great, and I really liked the simile at the end.

I must say, this poem started off so lovely. I do enjoy watching the rain streak down a window or watch the shower water trail down the curtain; it's interesting watching the path of a drop of water, as well as see hundreds of them falling in tandem. Water creates lovely spectacles, but it can also create sad ones, as well. I suppose, depending on what the reader sees, your poem illustrates that.
Beautifully written, Hully.
