Poet Wisdom #1 Ripple
One small ripple
In a pond
Can spread
And linger long
A touch
Or tender word
May reach
A darkening night.
Dispell an anguish looming
Or shed a ray of light
An act
Of sudden kindness
A look of warmth,
A smile
Can melt a soul
in mourning
Relieve one burden
for a while.
How much will it cost
To care for just a bit
And cast away a demon
By vanquishing it's nest?
A ripple on the waters
A human basket test
Take this dare to share your gift.

Heartfelt thanks ❤
This makes me have more feelings than I'm comfortable having :) Good job.
Thank you.. poetry has a way of peeling off the outer skin & sometimes that's intimidating.. thank you for reading.
I will take your dare! lol. I really enjoy your writing. The overall simplicity makes any unconventional phrases really hold a lot of impact, such as "And cast away a demon/By vanquishing its nest." The use of italics for some lines also was an interesting effect :)
Thank you @d-pend! I'm glad you approve and just started playing with the italic phrases and try to make them join in their own unique way! I'm so glad you like my experiment.
so inspiring...upvoted and followed
