Best Rippling Poems
Rippling River
A
river
gurgles and glints
with grandeur and gumption,
water winds its way through wetlands,
OVERCOMING OBSTACLES IN ITS PATH,
rapid, rolling, rippling, rubbing
p e b b l e s
smooth.

Ripplingrippling
chipped off
the rock of time
a lone pebble pierces
the soft water of life’s dreams
ripples of hope
spread across the pond
of blurred reality—
ripples bouncing
and dissipating—
curved banks confining
efforts of freedom
in the dying sunlight
of escape
we’ve become
like human truffles
hiding beneath the floor
of mother earth
in the diming twilight
above humanoid jackals
freely roam—
preying...

Rippling a Water StriderDrop 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...

Past a Rippling Stream
I meander past a rippling stream,
my hair blowing in the wind;
was that my name been called . . . softly.
did it sigh in the tangled trees above,
I twirl and swirl to only bird songs;
my name is but an echo . . . ...

Beside a Rippling StreamUnder star studded sky
And bright moon low
I wrap you in
My loving glow
Whispering words
Of love you so
As camp fire burns
With flames high
We drift as lovers
In night sky
Cuddle up tight
In lovers delight
Beside a rippling
Stream tonight...

silent flow of molten moon

Rippling RibbonsRippling ribbons flutter in the night,
cavorting across ebony skies.
And undulating waves of color,
slip-slide across the blackness of space.
The planet's natural cadence makes
the Aurora Borealis dance.
And a symphony of Northern Lights
starts waltzing in abject solitude.
A melody of visual notes;
plays like music in sync with my soul.
And...

The Desire of a Rippling StreamA rippling stream
in a moonlit night
moon in her lap
molten delight
dancing down
a sleeping hill
singing a song
and making twirl
softly breaking
the silence-glass
telling her presence
the dancing lass
murmuring leaves of
pine,oak
nudging each other
to start a talk
with this damsel
lovely stream
in this night of
moonlit dream
falling in love
the starry sky
flying kisses from
up so...

Rippling Stream's CircleOut here watching the water flow by.
Talking to the wind, waiting for a reply.
I don't know what it is about this stream I admire.
Like camping and gathering around watching the fire.
There is something about these inanimate objects.
It maybe the simplicity of beauty it reflects.
How it...

Rippling StreamRIPPLING STREAM
Like water slowly
But surely…
Flowing agitatedly
From up in the mountain slopes to the valleys
Settling in a ricefield paddy
Thus, setting agri-business happy
And worldwide in joy!
Like feelings mutually
However, carefully…
In a fertilized egg incubately but surely
The convalescingly makes life normally
Lusciously and deliciously stable
A second time around sounds compatively...

Given Eyes To See and Truth To Feel?*** Given Eyes to See and Truth to Feel ***
“Yes. Yes, sweet, dear soul,”
my promise speaks
Once again
Of agreements created, sent
Into the rippling, “Amen,” resonating
Prayer’s progression
After a mid-night’s congress:
the self poised ~ bowing down —
