Celebrating raindrops!

by Staff Pioneer Times
18 years ago

By Brittney Hawthorne
Hodgdon High School, Grade 8

I am a raindrop…
falling from the darkening sky, with bolts of dangerous light
and many dancing raindrops
that continue the beat
of the storm.

I am a raindrop…
who must complete my journey,
falling from the calming sky to await
my destination
in a puddle of celebrating
raindrops.
