Hi MariVal,
love how this loop poem goes full circle just the way life intended... and what a beautiful way to end it with a next generation, who get to experience the awe of it all.

I grew up in a few different environments, especially when I was young and living with relatives on farms. My uncle and auntie's farm was west of the great dividing range and rainfall was far and few between. Baths had to be shared(not so good if you were fourth down the line!). So when it rained it was a real treat... off came the down pipe and there was my shower. I'm wondering if that's where my love of being in the rain came from. I loved to run in it, I love to play my sports in it... hell, I still go out in it every chance I get. I guess it revitalises me.

Beautifully composed, presented and delivered!

With our thoughts we create...
the eternal circle.

Kindest regards,
James.

    I tried to answer four times and for some unknown reason my response doesn't save. I sent you an email and message with it.

    Just when you think things are settling... there's not! Had a disastrous day yesterday, but I'll email when I can and fill you in on it.

    Un abrazo de vuelta querida y dulce amiga.

Very well done, I really like the way your loop poem not only follows the required last word first word need, but your entire poem is a loop from start to finish, starting from the clouds and ending with the sky (clouds)
so very well written and presented****kahpot

Thank you for sharing this loop poem with us. I enjoyed reading. Loop poems are fun to read, especially out loud. Your presentation and poem are especially good.

last line suggestion: "face looking up at the clouds"
to loop the poem back to the first word... just a thought...

other than that, good smooth loops
and i love the imagery of
"ocean in a drop drop down on the child's face"

thank you for sharing!
shelley :)

Another fine poem, Gypsy------the full-circle life of a raindrop told in a very imaginitive and entertaining way, a way that I usually don't think about while I'm busy cursing the wet bastards!

I've always found loop poetry fascinating. This is a beautiful piece that comes full circle from the beginning. I remember looking up and letting the rain hit my face as a child. Now, I duck and cover, lol. Thank you for sharing, Gypsy.
God bless,
Steve

A lovely circular loop poem that flows well and charms us with the refreshing charm of rain. Love the drip, drop and its reiteration later in the verse. Well done, Gypsy. Take care Debbie

I like this. I didn't notice it was loop poem until I finished reading it. usually, the repetition annoys me but not with this on. You presented the cycle of water as it goes from stage to another in a lovely way.

    That is why I prefer free verse. Rhyming it's more strict.

    Thank you very much 😊

I like how your poem made it full circle just like all the looping in the poem! I think this type of looking is more natural than the one that requires a rhyme scheme and the looping. Great job with this!
