One Rock...

One rock drops.
Many ripples
spread across the river.

Dropped by The Soup today and wanted to read one of your poems. So much said in just three lines. Hope when you get time, you take up your pen and write again. I like the use of alliteration. Blessings to you in all your endeavors. Mom

Nicely done Haiku. It is interesting to see the motion or sound waves in the water. Keep writing. Sara
