I think you chose the perfect picture for this poem.. or was it the picture inspiring the poem? Either way they compliment each other very nicely :)

How true that the raging sea begins with a tiny drop of rain to rivulets, streams, waterfalls, rivers and finally covering the parched and endless plains. Nicely presented and well written my friend. XX

Comment from Joan E.
I was wrong--I had one more of your posts to go! We actually had some weather on Friday like that in the picture you selected, but the weather folks are predicting 90 degrees for tomorrow--I hope Sawyer and company weren't wedded to autumn. I enjoyed your conversation between the raindrop and the sea plus the rhymed quatrains and life's lesson. Cheers- Joan

Thanks so much, Joan :-) My daughter loves warm weather - even when she was little she was the only kid on her swim team to have blue lips and trembling when everyone else thought it was warm LOL :-) Brooke

Comment from MissMerri
I love the intelligent philosophy expressed in this well-rhymed and rhythmic poem. Each one of us has a part to play in the big scheme of things. Each one is important to the whole. I also loved this picture. It looks like my beloved Monterey. There is nothing about this that I didn't like. It speaks to me. It is beautiful writing.

Brooke;
I enjoyed this poem very much and I myself believe that the metaphorical moral to a simple band suggestive story about the little drop that could. And in this case the little dropped became the sea, "But if it weren't for you, my friend, then I would never be."
Again I enjoyed this kind of meter and tempo which reads very fluidly and where the rhyming helps with this rhythmic flow.
Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you always Brooke.

It might be tiny drops of rain, but apart from feeding the oceans, it also waters my garden :) This is very well written and very well done.

Brooke, I really enjoyed this poem. And you chose a great picture to go along with it. The ocean is such a soothing place and this poem took me back to when I lived near the sea. Great job. Judy
