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 🙂

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!
