    A Ripple

    A leaf falls silently from somewhere above,
    making a ripple in the glass-smooth surface
    of a puddle in the middle of the sidewalk that I tread.
    I contemplate...
    My head full of visions and dreams;
    Thought crosses my meandering mind
    that this scene has just mimicked my life
    Like an actor, playing his tragic role,
    evokes tears in a crowd and a standing ovation;
    With his inspiring performance,
    The leaf has moved me...
    Like the leaf, change often floats down softly
    from somewhere unbeknownst to me;
    Landing in a puddle...
    Making a ripple...
    As I walk along this sidewalk that ends
    only where another one should start.

    very cool, I made a page as well.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
