For Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday challenge, a butterfly cinquain.
stone dropped
in a still pool
and ripples race, breaking
reflections of the sky into
sunbeams,
wavelets of the ocean sky flow,
ebb, reform unbroken,
returning home,
circles.

I LOVE how full-circle your words are. The butterfly cinquain has become a signature form for you. It fits your thoughts. Even more, I enjoy how you didn’t use the phrase. Meaning inferred is so much more meaningful. โค
Thank you, Colleen. Yes, I do tend to associate the butterfly cinquain with your prompt ๐
It has a rhythm that suits you. ๐ฆ
Certainly one that I go to ๐
Very nice.
Thanks Ken ๐
Beautiful. It made me feel so serene reading this–like I was there watching those ripples. ๐
(Oh, maybe I was.) ๐
I think you dropped the pebble in the water…
Oh yes, I remember now. ๐

You’re welcome, Jane!
beautifully written, loved the tranquility
Thank you! I’m pleased you liked the poem. There is something so soothing about water, we ought to be more respectful of it.
It is life after all, Iโm with you entirely

Beautiful, Jane.
