A drip, a drop,
Percolate, plop,
Pooling, puddling,
Flowing, flooding,
Torrent tearing,
Eroding, wearing,
Gully grinding,
Chasm winding,
Until is seen from outer space
A Grand Canyon on the planet’s face.
And so this thought:
It happened drop by drop. ((As seen on The Curiously Poetic Altoids!))

A Quick Rebuttal
I wish to respond to this.
- Do you really consider Putin’s presidency—which so greatly improved incomes, security, and national self-confidence—disastrous?
- George W. Bush did not cause the rise in commodities prices, nor did Barack Obama’s election lead to their collapse.
- If anything, the economic crisis is improving the prospects of an opposition party in Russia, not deeper entrenching the ruling party.

But I Do
With words, sweet words—the currency of the day—
He tells how you’ve won his heart.
Giving roses, dozen roses—Earth’s love letters loaned—
He says he’ll always, ever be true.And maybe,
By the swoons, the gasps, the thrills,
It’s justified.
The symbols are so sweet because of
What they signify.But allow me to observe a few pertinent facts:
All but the mute can speak words of love to you.
‘most anyone with arms can place blossoms in your hands.
But is it not much easier to say than to be true?
How soon will his love’s flower falter
In the heat of life’s demands?Ah, but not every guy,
In his heart of hearts,
Adores, loves, worships,
Thinks on, hopes for, dreams of,
Leads, follows, stands side by side with
You.No, it isn’t every man that
Lives his life for you.
But I do.
I do.
