Drop
another pebble in,
splash—dimple,
sink—ripple,
out
to bluer, deeper water,
where
the moon drops,
golden-soft,
like a whisper
I
want
to
hear again
and again
and
again.

Lovely poem!
ReplyDeleteGrand write, Jen_!
ReplyDelete__I can hear the water's music, that lute plucked by the skipping stones. _m
That must have been such an amazing sight!
ReplyDelete"...again and again and again." Yes...lovely images, Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteThis was like a dream, ever coming in and out of focus, trying to capture it, but then again, not to hard. Exquisite.
ReplyDeletei am listening for the whisper...lovely close on this jennifer...i also like the thought that ran through my head of the moon dropping in next to send some more ripples...
ReplyDeletei like the deeper water...smiles.
Beautiful cadence in this. A lovely, melodic, evocative cascade of words that carry the reader away to lake song - and sights - at dusk.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely observation and lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Imagery Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing the whispers now...the vision you have on this poem is perfect and rich. :)
Yes, better than we were for the tumbling...I love this, love the worn-ness, which makes us luminous (or is that strained eyesight, LOL??? Lovely to see you, Jennifer, thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, thanks for coming by mine, too. I think maybe your comment here was intended for my (Almost) Eighteen poem, due to what you've quoted. And yes, I hear you about the strained eyesight! I gotta have my reading glasses close at hand now, ha!
