Rippled thoughts travel in the big pond of verse.

Black stone skips

sapphire blues

ripples spread

oceanic thoughts

on waves of ink

covering verse

rhythmically,

diminishing 

text drowns

a pond waits....

active minds

frenzied writes 

crowd hungers

reviews  thrill

maddening rush

onslaught battles

wills broken

thanks given

compliments read

all is still

the big fish fed

a small write fading....

thrown

gone

no bites today.

Love this Andrew! Great metaphor and imagery. The pond can be both welcoming and rejecting. So many feelings are affected. Great flow, form, impactful minimalism. Let’s hope we can all keep swimming- ha! Excellent!

this is a gorgeous write,
that conjures up images of serenity, one drifting down streams, pondering, inhaling inspiration from solitude and the beauty of nature

i adore every word you used and how you used them.
thank you for sharing - x
