Notes About The Poem

I am writing a book on mental health is Seven-Liners. This is one little epsiode from it.

Ripped Ripples

Ripped Ripples
	
When she dived off the bridge ripples broke free from the surface

     Her throbbing heart had thumped a pounding shiver into darkness

          Concentric circles brought a mirror image to the bottom of the river

               Tampered with undulations and quivers’ hesitation now absolved

          Strafed yet scarfed she placed layer upon layer into a slumbering swirl

     One never jumps into the same river twice she pondered as she

Cherished the everlasting moment of lonely saltation with no return
