A Drop Of Rain

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
I very much enjoyed the image of a raindrop becoming weary. It has travelled so far to reach the leaf, and yet will end without vision or reflection, source of sustenance for the dark earth to allow the birth of next year's leaves. Kate xx

Thank you very much I am sorry for the delayed reply . My member ship was due and I dad some glitches with my credit card.
I am happy that my 'weary raindrop' could find a empathetic soul.

No worries about delays (it reassures me. I was answering some reviews from April last night - no comment) Kate xx
Comment from karenina
"Raindrop" is most certainly a nature, and perhaps seasonal reference! IN any event, haiku seem to have broadened in acceptable themes...
There is something quietly poignant about this one that caught on my heart and gave me pause...
Always a good thing when poetry elicits emotion!

Comment from June Sargent
The clouds releasing raindrops can represent emotions and tears that flow from our souls and eyes. Despite the effort to hold onto the leaf, what little is left of a relationship, it falls. And afterwards, the pain remains. This is a powerful haiku that captures a depth of emotions. Well done.

-Nice image and presentation, Sanku.
-The syllable count is good, along with the topic.
-You have good seasonal and nature imagery
with raindrop and leaf tip.
-A very good satori line, too.
-I like the thought you put into this.

Your club entry was beautifully presented, Sanku. I enjoyed
reading it. The picture was awesome. However, your words
painted their own image for readers. Great job with the
syllable count per line.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Thank you very much .Do you think if I change 'pain' to 'tears' it would be better? I wanted to juxtapose two images ,raindrop and tear drop.
Comment from lyenochka
Yes, the pain remains even after the tears fall. Lovely picture and apt analogy of the raindrop and the teardrop. I liked the personification of the raindrop relinquishing and the "weary hold on leaf tip."

Comment from estory
There's an interesting epiphany moment here that makes the poem for me. The last line when you turn the raindrop clinging to the lead into a metaphor for pain or sorrow. I think it speaks of lingering pain and sorrow, the difficulty in getting passed it. Of moving on. Great balance, true to form, and good use of the nature image. estory

Comment from barbara.wilkey
In Texas around the Gulf where my son, Steven, lives rain is seasonal. We were there is past weekend and when I was walking my dog, I was surprised at how LARGE the raindrops were. It was only sprinkling, but the drops were huge. Thank you for sharing this club Haiku entry with us. I enjoyed reading.
