I think I put this in the wrong place before , anyway here we go again. I have been doinga bit of poetry writing at my Creative writing group. I seem to find it easier than prose
Here is one I did a couple of weeks ago
Perpetual Motion Flowing gently, oozing out of the ground Slow movement, a constant trickle but little sound Pond skaters dancing, darting here and there Water Boatmen rising, falling, as they surface for air. And yet the water moves away from this homely spot Pushing through narrow spaces and over jagged rocks Perpetual motion driving the water on, away Far away from these small pools Left shimmering in the morning sun The shallow trickle slowly building into a might roar. Crashes down from a great height to a rocky floor Its massive foaming fronds encompassing ferns, Mosses and frightened birds that do not learn The importance of this powerful force Pushing its way forward to meet its source . At last the motion falls to a gentler pace As the river widens allowing more space, For gentle meanderings on this final journey A journey now of solitude, peace and tranquillity. Perpetual motion still remains a force As this gentle giant follows its course With pace unchanged until it meets the sea A vast expanse, space to be free Where upon the gentle heat of warming rays Pushes fine droplets upwards, and beyond into space Convection carrying the droplets high, Forming cotton wool balls floating in the sky Slowly these balls of fluff turn grey As they accumulate debris and decay Heavier and heavier until with one sudden burst They gush from the sky and down to earth Seeping through the grassy mounds To caverns deep, deep beneath the ground. And then as if by chance once more Perpetual motion creates this eternal flow. Flowing gently, oozing out of the ground Slow movement, a constant trickle but little sound Pond skaters dancing, darting here and there Water Boatmen rising, falling, as they surface for air. And yet the water moves away from this homely spot Pushing through narrow spaces and over jagged rocks Perpetual motion driving the water on, away Far, far away and beyond
