Jenna Logan Poet Free verse

I Tossed the First Stone

Would my life be happy
if I had never known 
the quavering ripples I caused
by tossing that first stone

Tranquil waters of a lake,
would never slake my thirst

John Lawless March 31, 2023 at 12:43 PM A mentor always told me "to be the pebble" and let the ripples sort themselves out.....Kinda like the butterflies wings thing. Nicely done Jenna Logan March 31, 2023 at 2:31 PM Hi John, I can see where that advice would certainly suit me. I've tossed pebbles where I sometimes shouldn't have, but once tossed the ripples cannot be recalled. Thank you for the great comment.
