dew-drop not as

well known as a rain-drop

made its way

down the stalk of a

wild flower – an aster

alongside a country road

unseen and unable

to show its shine

and the dew-drop glistens

in its march

to roots below.

The soil quite dry

in the heart of this vale

an impeded flow

from scabrous skin

without regular moisture.

But this dew-drop cares not

for excuses in his striving

to bring one drop of moisture-

finally – splat.

Thank you so much, ABCtales.team for the lucious cherries. Lately I have been trying to give a voice to subjects overlooked and you have confirmed the value of my intentions. To me, Poetry is an all-out adventure in Creativity and Imagination. There are so many other ABCtale poets who serve the same passion I have for seeking with fresh eyes a new way to describe feelings and beauty. Keep doing it, ABC friends.

Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, and waste it's sweetness on the desert air -Thomas Gray

Thanks so much, Nolan. So many ways to say the same thing, eh? I still thoroughly enjoy my writing, even at my grand older age. -Richard LP
