Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Earth Day, which is celebrated on April 22nd.
Today’s poem is a poem for Earth Day comparing organized
political activity to a rainstorm.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Each of us is like one drop of rain,
A single splatter on the thirsty sand.
Remember, though, that drops fall not alone,
The products and producers of a grand
Harmony that waters well the plain.
Do not think, then, that you're on your own,
A tiny drop upon a dying land.
You are a storm, whose green fields will remain.
