a little seed
not yet a sproutlet
not yet indeed
she flutter floats
she rides the breeze
she runs along
her elders sleeve
Moments older
she tumbles down
new journeys forward
new journeys found
she's planted there
with no despair
she waits and wishes
sunlight appears
Little droplets
drawing near
she waits again
to burst and cheer
her journey starting
all over again
she sprouts to life
rebirth begins.
This poem was inspired by a simple prompt given by Ruth Ayres at the ALL WRITE!!! Conference in Warsaw, Indiana. She simply said, "write about journey..."
I love simple things.

Thanks for visiting. :)
Can't believe you attended All Write and wrote a gorgeous poem all in one day! You must have been tired last night! Love this surprise take on journey- I will think of it next time I see a seedling!

Catching up with all this from All Write, Betsy. It was great to meet you, but I didn't get a real chance to visit much with you, Robin & Tina. So nice you all could come together! I love this-would have to look back at my notes to see what I did! This "Little droplets
