Plop! in the middle of the ravine
a polished pebble creates a wave of awe
Stirred surface, and rings begin to spread
throughout the valley, to tell of what they saw
.
Exhilaration in the hillside trees
as they, too, pick up on the storyline
Jittery leaves catch the wind passing by
then gesticulate what is on their mind
.
A lone bird met upon the party
and fled to greet a cheerful swarm
Soon butterflies and trails of honeybees alight
with news of Belle in her fiancé’s arm
.
A tender warmth glistens in her eyes
as she sculpts their affection in the sand
Together, they make ripples come alive
when her love releases a nugget from his hand

This is so beautiful – a little gossipy but all in a good way – as though the creatures of God are rejoicing the young couple’s love.
Yes, love does trigger ripples of joy
Arioso
Yes, thank you Eric! You’ve always been good at pinpointing exactly what I’m trying to convey… Joy to the world!

This is a fantastic poem! Beautifully, soft, yet powerful, imagery!! Love the sketch at the beginning… did you do that?
Arioso
Thank you, Janet! The sketch is awesome. I found it on the internet after a long search for the perfect one to match the writing. Maybe I need to learn how to do that so that I can have a great image to complement my writings at all times:) I’m always elated to have your feedback. I hope to catch up on more of your writings soon. I’ve fallen behind lately but I promise to catch up soon!
