A thought starts out as an idea, a drop that falls into the vast ocean of your mind. It creates a ripple that grows. Eventually the inspiration meets another ripple, and together they expand, adding to each other. Soon the whole surface is covered with thoughts. But this is more than the surface - this is a brainstorm. A regular downpour of thought. And you can't stop water from spreading. A single drop becomes a river, which flows to an ocean. A poem.
Ripples is a collection of poems written by two young, debuting authors. A large pool of poems to be explored and treasured. Discover parallels hidden in words, and let the flow take you to new places.
I love these girls, and I'm so proud of the book of poems they've created!
I'm always a little awed by people who can just sit down and have poetry come to them, but to have this many, even in collaboration with someone else, is spectacular. The poems range from serious to silly, uplifting to fun, some simple, some deeper, and all of them great.
I'm so happy to have a book by these debut authors in my collection, and I already know good things are coming next! :)
