The Dewdrop

by Harshita Das aged 11

It shone in the sunlight
Gleaming like glitter
Resting on the leaf blade
Slowly sliding down
Falling on the ground
Another one
Took its place
The garden’s plants
Covered in them
All gleaming like silver
And shining in the Sun
The fragments of the
Thrown away water
Which purified itself
In the presence of wind
Now slide down
The blades of leaves
As new ones
Take their place

    Rather than use “glitter” again, I thought it would be better to find another word.

    Ok!! I’ll be careful not to repeat adjectives or words again, unless required. Thanks!!

    Yes, it’s good not to repeat words. Unless you deliberately want the repetition.
