One more from my upcoming poetry collection "Outside, Inside"

I've decided on a title for my collection of poems, have a cover I' m 99% happy with, and am just finishing off putting them in the correct order for the focus of the collection.  Coming soon!

I'm not going to post the longer poems in the collection but here's another of the shorter ones.

Life and Death.

The raindrop slides slowly

down the windscreen,

like a teardrop falling

down a cheek.

Reaching the bottom,

it is engulfed

and disappears from sight,

swept aside by

merciless wiper blades,

cut off in the prime

of its journey.

 

The rain continues falling,

yet never can any individual raindrop

be replaced.

Another tear appears,

joining the torrent.
