John Lawless Poet Verse

Waterfall

WATERFALL


Spray rising
a continual mist
prism-tinged light ascending an archway

welcoming
artistic etching tool
of nature’s surging alterations.

Purity
of fluid mantric chant
echoes the valley’s secret prayer.

Rejoicing
droplets in communion
ride the roaring tumult to the shore.

Andrea Dietrich November 6, 2014 at 11:27 PM geeez, why the heck did I not see this one on the list tonight? Maybe for the syllable count?? Anyway, it sure is a nice one, John. John Lawless November 7, 2014 at 7:20 AM Not sure what happened Andrea, the 3-6-9 syllable count checked out on the Poetrysoup syllable counter app .... any way thanks again for your continuing support and comments.

Maurice Yvonne October 29, 2014 at 4:50 PM WOW! Excellent imagery and far from cliche. Just what the doctor ordered, great job John. John Lawless November 7, 2014 at 7:22 AM Thanks Maurice, always good to hear from you. Sorry for the late response but life, as it has a way of doing, has been mugging the muse.
