I have just started writing a poem about water today and have just found a really inspirational example of a water poem with an underlying message about the effects our words have.
I need to be more mindful of themes and messages I can insert into my poetry. I haven't really discovered the knack yet, but I guess it is all down to practise and a lot of hard work!
This poem also gives me a strong image of the ripples in the water so for me it is a very successful poem, despite the fact that it doesn't rhyme. I really love the use of repetition in the line, "circling on and on and on". I just hope that the ripple effects in our lives are more positive ones than negative!
I found this poem through a Google image search but it actually belongs to this website: http://www.diversityworld.com/Denise_Bissonnette/TLN04/tln0403.htm
I think is does have a sort of rhyme, it's lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess it does sort of rhyme with the words "gone" and "on".
