Ripple Blooms


Kindness wrought
Strangers unaware
Giving joy

Giving joy
Giver to taker
Ripple blooms

Ripple blooms
Inner joy shimmers
Kindness wrought

    Very nice pattern and set…I like the ripple blooms ….

    If I may tweak your last verse for a perfect 3-5-3 form:

    Ripple blooms
    Inner joy glimmers (or shimmers)
    Kindness wrought

    Thanks for your lovely words in my blog ~ You are very kind ~

      oops … I moved the line — and didn’t catch the necessary change — Grace, you are so astute!! You must dream 5-7-5 and 3-5-3 in your sleep — thank you for catching my slip (of mind)!! 😀 I appreciate your feedback and the manner in which you present it!
