Butterfly feet touch 'pon water Lightly it disturbs then ripples Definitely it did not totter Slowly the rings become triples Ripples controlled by the potter

Maybe its just my poetry mind overthinking things but I see the ripples on the water being compared to clay on the potter's wheel expanding and growing in rings. Nice work Sara! Cheers - Gary

Lovely scene and lovely image ! Usually I watch dragonflies touching the water with their hair like legs forming ripples in the water surface.

Valsa, I agree I have never seen a butterfly do this. Probably a person who knows how to overlay one photo onto another did this and it probably is not the real thing, but I liked it. Thanks for the visit. Sara

No need for many words, when 2 words can convey an ending. Well penned my friend, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
