The Pearly Dew Drop Speaks

by ·

A few dew drops rests on the primroses with garden greens

It seems like glistening pearls to a few

But the drying drops knows for sure

That they are indeed not the pearly wealthy whites

But only a few drops of glistening moist moments

On the rich laden scented garden

They might be adorned. only come back may another day

If the willingness of fair weather and fade-in garden days permits

ABOUT GOURI Honest and straight forwardness is appreciated by me rather than a soft and gentle approach FAVOURITE QUOTES the only short cut between two points is a straight line

    I loved the concept and you’ve expressed it so well. However, I do feel that the title and the poem don’t match very well. It would have been nice to ‘hear’ the dew drops’ voice as well!

    Ah! The fleeting moments of glory… Drops don’t get attached to them, and neither must we.

    Very nice about a short lived glorious life. Uncertain about its end but keeps coming back as another dew on another day. Hope is so well expressed here.
