Drop

I’ve found a word for you. I’ll drop it below. Let’s see what the dictionary says.

Drop

To let or make something fall

To fall vertically

A small amount of falling liquid

What comes to mind?

Raindrops. Teardrops. Dew drops. A drop in the ocean. Drop the ball.

Fingers tracing rain drops racing down car windows on journeys as a child – what else was there to do back then?

Acute morning sunlight striking dew drop topped grass, so bright and sharp it could be mistaken for a metal blade.

The insignificance of a single drop of water that wrestles in the Sea.

That sinking feeling – you’ve dropped the ball. It didn’t bounce.

Where might this week’s word take you?

What first comes to mind when you hear the word drop? Do you go to the fall, the letting go, or to the physical form of falling liquid?

Whatever it is or wherever you want to go, take that as a direction for a quick haiku.

Here’s mine about rain drops on Alchemilla leaves.

Under apple trees

Bright green scalloped leaves turn

Water to silver
