Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Rain Drop
Erin Wittenberg
1
Born from a dark cloud in the sky
To begin a much larger storm
A single drop falls
2
A cloud’s tear
Showers from the heavens
A cry from the gods
3
A single splash in a bright yellow pale
Brings an endless day of fun
Only to stop when the water has gone
4
A descent so long, and far
To crack and break
One drop has become many
5
Smaller parts create one bigger part
Each too small for our eyes
6
A splatter across a puddle
The raindrop is gone
In its place a wave
7
A raindrop washes away the old
A new life reborn
Here comes the storm
8
A crack that shakes floors
A Light that creates ash
That follows a single raindrop
9
A single raindrop
In the smallest ocean
Will bring the largest tsunami
10
Where has all the clean water gone?
Down the dirty drain
From dirty sphere above
11
One drop will splash into millions
To find more water
To flow down a drain
12
The never ending cycle
Down from the dark cloud
Into our mouths
Back into the ocean
13
One dark cloud brings a single raindrop
And many more yet to come
They don't ever stop
What was once a drop
Is now a hurricane
