Ripples

sorenbarrett

Capillary waves  in circles from a stone cast in a pond
spread their influence through the mirror
Distorted reflections of creation's bond
bringing nature's wonders nearer

Watery echoes heard near and far long after they disperse
Rock now buried in an aqueous muddy grave
its jostle of leaves and fish diverse
In the book of the universe its memory it does engrave

        A fine write SB.
        My poem goes something like:
        In muddy waters much sewage is found
        And plenty green algae...
        All stuff I give KP to eat and drink! heehee.

            this reinforces the view that nothing happens in isolation & that everything is in some way or ways interconnected & likewise influenced ..

              Indeed and so it is. Thanks for the review and understanding interpretation Neville

                    A very nice twosome here sorenbarrett.

                    The rhythm you have written such a scene, mirrors the rippling effect, that makes each read of this poem more immersive.

                    Bravo, and I hope that all is well.
