The Water Drop
The Water Drop
in grasping the holdless ceiling
defies the sight and mind of man
denies the fact of river
lake and stream
proposes cloudbed rivers borne
by windy banks
to seas and oceans
of the sky.

Prompt: Write a ceiling poem.
Note: This is a bit of a cheat since it was actually written in 1970 and is not brand new therefore. It fitted the prompt so well and I was feeling equally uninspired that I felt I might get away with pointing at it today. It is also unusual that, in order for it to make sense, the title should be read as though it were the first line of the poem.
