Ripple Effect

A drop.
Slowly it grows.
A ring is formed, encompassing the people.

Forever spreading.
Touching and reaching everything.
Finally, it tickles the cattails around the pond.

What a splash!

Two kinds of ripple effects I see described here and I love messages on ripple effects for people. Very nice, Lesley!
