Great waves
Turn to graves.
Although one may find
A ripple is left behind.
But I should not say
That waves go away
Lest I offend
Those who would pretend
That they, forever, stay.

Love this kevin. I love graveyards too! Have a nice Saturday
Thank you Lorraine.
I live just opposite a graveyard. Its no longer used to burry the dead, although the graves are still tenanted.
One of my favourite poems is Thomas Gray’s “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard”. So, yes I share your interest in graves.
You also, have a lovely Saturday.
All the best, Kevin
Love this! Especially the opening two lines. Well written!
Thank you! I’m delighted you like my poem.
Love the layers to this, like a riddle to solve before the Sphinx.
Many thanks, I’m delighted you like it.
Of course!
Profound piece, Kevin.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
the beauty of waves and ripples and how it affects each individual so beautifully written, this piece resonates with me.
Thank you. I’m delighted that my poem resonates with you.
Wonderful piece, Kevin. There is much to ponder about life in these short lines, I think.
Thank you. I’m delighted you like my poem, and thank you for your kind words.
My pleasure!
Beautiful. I love it. It reminds me of Edward Thomas’ poem “Out in the Dark”: https://www.poetsgraves.co.uk/Classic%20Poems/Thomas%20E/out_in_the_dark.htm. Thanks for sharing such a lovely piece!
Many thanks for your kind words about my poem. I am delighted you like it. Thanks also for linking to Edward Thomas. I always remember that line of his (quoted from memory, so apologies if I misquote), “nothing but the wild rain, and the thought that I shall die”. Best, Kevin
‘ lest I offend….’ that’s classic, irreplaceable. Genius.
Thank you for your kind comment. I’m delighted you like “Waves and Ripples”.
