I Am A Raindrop Poem by Sandra Conner

I Am A Raindrop

Rating: 4.0


I am a raindrop.
I'm looking for a place to plop.
I'm falling quickly and cannot stop.

I don't know where I'd like to be,
But I def'nitely don't want to land in the sea.

You see, if I were to land in the sea,
It would be so anti-climactic for me.

I would lose my personal identity;
Even I would no longer recognize me.

No, I must find some place solid instead.
Perhaps on a daisy in a flower bed,

Or a plant so parched it's almost dead,
Or the page of a book that's being read.

I must decide as fast as I can;
I'm falling quickly toward some folks on the sand.

So many are out there just getting a tan.
Hello there, little bald-headed man!

His head sure was tempting, but then a breeze blew,
And drove me off course; what am I to do?

Oh, I see it! I see it! My target's in view!
Get ready! Get ready! I'm landing on you!
Plop!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I belong to a creative artists group called 'Expression Unlimited, ' which meets in a local town in my home state of Illinois. We are about 20 strong, coming from several different counties, and we are welcoming new members almost every month. Members include authors, poets, journalists, artists, wood crafters, jewelry crafters, musicians, songwriters, puppeteers, interpretive dancers, and actors. At each meeting, we enjoy a guest speaker, and then each member offers something from his area of creativity, generally pertaining to a specific theme for that month. A year ago, in September, the theme was 'September Rain, ' and since I did not have anything in my own writing that pertained to that subject, I thought perhaps I should write a brand new poem for the occasion. 'I Am A Raindrop' is the result of that effort.

I must say I really liked this, bubbly and vibrant from the view of something so simple as a raindrop; a little bit childish, but I guess it adds to the positive atmosphere of the plop. :)
