first drops

first drops
form, later-on
join;

rivulets stream along;
throughout inaugural miles—
cascade and fall;

frowns fashion savory
sighs— lips impart
reticent smiles.

froth bubbles
milk-white— merrily
babbles along;

channel-rides
embankments
newly formed—

ripples
at the surface
of clearest pond

shimmer,
dissolve
and are gone.
