the puddles, unnoticed

Luke Bensing

 

The puddles, unnoticed

gathered along the dips

Low spots

collecting the rain 

and gone before the moon returns.

 

What differentiates a pond from a lake from an ocean?

Is it the depths?

The amount of which is pure unknown and terror?

 

Is this what you hear when I say, “Don’t worry. Everything will be alright.”?

    A poem that shows the depth of the sea and the breadth of it as well, it rushes like a white water river. Nicely done

  • Poetic Licence

    I got the sense this is about the mind and its thoughts during those dark nights, sometimes they constantly drip and sometimes your mind is flooded with them, interesting and enjoyable read

    Do we ever know what’s under the surface, nice.
