depth
the depth of light
reflected, wavering
in the breath of whispers
seemingly more, but no...
so much less:
a butterfly sipping nectar --
a branch bent from the weight
of a single raindrop
fingertips almost touching
the water, almost deep

TheRainManover 18 years agoI agree. This is pure and simple, very well written.
I dont think the punctuation you chose helps at all, the ellipses and double hyphen, but that's small stuff. The images and phrasing are very good, in my opinion.
Welcome to Lit.
catmajicaover 18 years agoI enjoyed this. Very simple but powerful at the same time. Reminded me somewhat of a haiku just extended.
