Au and C, meet H2O

the willow weeps but not for me
unless they’re tears of joy
I rest in its shade
beside the pond and toss
a trinket toward the deepest water
Au and C, meet H2O
tiny ripples race each other
to opposite banks
a chorus of frogs announce
the winner is me
when the water is still again
I leave with empty hands
but a full heart

  1. I really like this, Tim. You had me from the opening verse, “the willow weeps but not for me…”. That’s a great line, and a great poem! Keep writing & I’ll keep coming back to check on you…Robert

    Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a wonderful comment, Robert. I hope you will keep coming back. ~Tim

  2. Oooh. This has set me up for the day – I feel a day of good cheer coming on. Thanks.

    Thanks, mazzz. I hope every day is a day of good cheer. ~Tim

  3. That must have been one bad engagement! Awesome, Tim!

    Thanks, Laura. You know what they say, “The only good engagement is a –” Wait, that’s not right. I actually don’t know anything about engagements…. ~Tim

  4. Great rhythm to this one. I read it a few times. I think the use of chemical symbols was interesting. Nice work.

    Thanks, G.P. This one is really all about symbols. ~Tim

  5. i have to echo the praise others have given about the opening line and the rhythm. and a full heart trumps a full hand any time.

    Thanks, Lime. Full hearts are the best. ~Tim
