A Raindrop Landed In My Eye

[ephemerald]

I like the fact that this is a minute snippet into an (oddly) intimate, bleak moment and how what was already a shade of grey turns into an even darker one just within that one minute of time. The words themselves need not be elaborate; the simplicity of them with the direct, concrete images provoked are poetic in that grainy sort of way.

Admittedly, I really didn't think anything at all of this poem my first few read-throughs. It's only when I came back to it that it did something for me.
