The fragmented nature of your poem has flashes of brilliance, where the words chosen and their placement convey a visual image of great intensity. Two parts I particularly liked when read aloud were:
Clouds drop tears a tap wetting dry soil,
and
Sparkles in sinking high branches to fall,
blinking lights seen through the trees fly,
all crystals thinking, blues mate to pinks.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
I enjoy playing with word positions and the cadence of words in the sentences. This poem was especially fun to work with. I also prefer to read poetry aloud. Putting my two techniques together for this poem made it come alive more. This word placements seem to be jumbled a bit as they might be were they sitting on the ground on pieces of paper being pelted by raindrops. You have good use of alliteration and juxtaposition. In my book that I wrote Be Wee With Bea, Bea notices the sounds the pebbles make as they journey down through the rapids and she reflects upon the story they tell and your raindrops tell their story as they become a brook. Very cool writing.

I have my flaws in my writes, seemingly aspects that enchant the reader, other that baffle them completely. Glad you found a course pleasing to travel. Thanking you for your generous rate and touching views.

Hello TPAC,
You have marvelous imagery in this free flowing form
much like the water itself as it makes its way downward.
You words capture to feel of the rain, streams, river.
Water always seeks the path of least resistance.
You have one line in stanza four out of place.
Otherwise, very well done
Robert

A complex passage of nature. Perhaps hard to understand. "curling swift, bend to mow".
It's easy to lose your real message under such heavy descriptions.

I like the font a lot!
Imagery is presented descriptively!
I love how each stanza balances out the other by having the same amount of lines.
Great use of personification as well.
Neat!

My suggestion:
Fearless tiny drops, air to soar brethren,
from darken skies, as heavy rain to roar,
falls together each an independent oar.
Fearless tiny drops, air to soar brethren,
from darken skies, as heavy rain roar(s),
together each an independent oar.

Comment from Beri Bee
This is such a beautiful story. Rain to rapids. My two favorite lines are Blues mate to pink and among creatures tingles are beloved. The whole of all this together is powerful. The way you describe a drop to a torrent. My mind is boggled.

Thank you for sharing this poem. You presentation is nice: the illustration along with the larger font size give your poem a professional look. The syntax is unnatural and distracting; I would recommend finding a way to make your phrases come across more natural sounding.
