This was written for the pure fun of it... partially with kids in mind (of any age *g*)... a bit of a tongue-twister - hope you enjoy it! ******************************** Raindrop Journey Tiny raindrops bouncing, elasticity in motion; joyous meld of bubbles in a puddle-soft implosion. Puddles burping ripples with their hungry edges sprawling, wanderlust of trickle to the surging river's calling. Restless arm of river waving high in wild emotion; torrents swirling corners to the appetite of ocean. Tidal pull of ocean gulps them all in eager kiss - river, puddle, raindrops - breathes a sigh of silver mist. Misty cloud of raindrops keeps the circle ever strong: form and purpose changing, but its essence never gone. [This message has been edited by laryalee (edited 02-24-2001).] |

What a marvelous blend of language and images, Lary! You definitely do not have to be a kid to appreciate this. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

This is really great....and explains raindrops so well. (Although we don't see quite enough of them here, where I live) Such beautiful words put together so well. JB |

How beautifully you have penned the journey of a raindrop! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

That brought back some memories...mostly playful ones. **No weapon will pierce my heart, no hand will be raised to harm me as long as I write.** ~a_little_girl |

You have described a delightful imagery I usually just take for granted. Thanks for the mental picture. Melton |

So happy you all enjoyed this splash! Sorry to be so late in responding - I'm having schedule problems, sigh. Thank goodness for this Corner of the forum - I can't keep up with the pace of the main one Songbird - I felt like a kid, writing about 'puddles burping ripples' - but maybe (hopefully) we all keep a bit of the child in us.... Thanks! Marilyn, I'm glad you enjoyed it - it was fun to write! JB - I guess this is not the season for it in your part of the world...thanks for your comments! Ellie, I really appreciate your thought - thanks so much! Hey Swamp Faeryie - I bet you still love splashing in puddles! Thanks for your wing-touch! Moon Dust - Ah ha! I know that feeling! Girl - I'm glad, because it was written with playfulness - thanks for dropping in! Melton, thank you - I also wanted to indicate appreciation for this 'circle', and I'm pleased that it comes across. Wonderful encouragement - thank you, my friends.... Lary |
