About the Creator

Rick Henry Christopher

Writing is a distraction to fulfill my need for intellectual stimulus, emotional release, and soothing the bruises of the day.

The shattered pieces of life will not discourage me.

    Brilliant! This is exactly why having a 100 word limit on most of the poetry is a mistake.

    Love this. It has a lot of depth to it. I love the idea of ripples - to me they represent change, but I like your perspective of something drifting away with them. Nice job!

  • Your poems always hit me hard! It's so sad that we have to age. Especially when we're young at heart. Brilliant Haiku!
