Comment from royowen

Excellent

I love the brilliant idea of the mighty sea conversing with gratitude to the insignificant drop of rain, reminds me of the humility of God talking to His son, saying " thank you for your obedience, now I'll be blessed by a sea of believers," great idea, immaculately presented in 8686 quatrains, in abcb rhyming with an even metered, eloquently worded text, great read, blessings, Roy.

Excellent

Nice poem. Nice picture.

In reading this I wish I could take the time to be like a raindrop and head toward the beach.

Thanks for sharing this. JW

God, I don't know how you do it. Please let me know when you publish your work because I will buy it. It's embedded with so much meaning and told with such simple words - and that's what makes it so clever, IMO.

I really like your poem Brooke about drops of rain.
You have a way to make one stop and visualize how necessary it is to have rain to fill the rivers,lakes and great seas, as you said otherwise would never be.

This is a nice poem that shows that we are all important to each other no matter how unimportant we feel. In more ways than one, we are dependent on one other.I liked these lines best:
You may be but one tiny drop
and I the mighty sea,
but if it weren't for you, my friend,
then I would never be."

well done!

Well, there you go making perfect sense of it: rain-droplets and talking oceans. Mystical none-the-less in perfect ballad form. Kenny

Your poem is a thoughtful conversation between the tiny drop of rain and the sea, Brooke. I really do like it.

Your personification of the two is delightful.

Your rhyming is perfection, and your words have a lovely flow. Very nice! Thank you for sharing, again! Alana

We are all drops in the ocean and we all need each other to build that magnificent sea. Nice metaphoric poem Brooke.

Kind regards

Your poem is very good. I like the conversation between the sea and the tiny drop of rain. Ok, I love rain. Your poem had great flow. I like how you ended it with the sea calling the tiny drop "my friend" and expressing his appreciation for it. Good job and thanks for sharing.
