Notes About The Poem

Rippling a Water Strider

Drop of dew falling
On pond renders ripple rings
That radiate out
Bobbing a water strider 
Rocking strider up and down

Strider like spider
Listens with six feet floating
For surface to shake.
Like spider waits web to quake
To ring alarm vibration.

Spider and strider
Listening for shakes with feet,
One in air rattled,
One on pond surface rippled,
Both wearing their dancing shoes.
