Teardrop
September 9, 2013
A single teardrop,
Shed from joy.
And yet no other,
Has a more sorrowful existence.
It joins the world,
Alone and independent,
Soon to be swallowed
By the overwhelming ground beneath.
The lucky few
Join their fallen comrades,
As they drift through existence
with neither meaning nor reason.
A single teardrop,
Shed from Joy,
And yet no other
Has a more sorrowful existence.

This is a very good poem, it has ryhthm as well as having a strong meanign which you portray beautifully; you show both sides and contrast with the joy and sorrow. You describe it well and you give a strong emotional impact on the reader, making them think and want to cherish tears.
Well Done :)

So beautiful! I couldn't even cry because I felt it would contradict the whole idea of the poem. Your work is that of a true poet. Amazing.
