Composed 2/15/15,
Description: Wow, is it the first day of Blogging U’s “Writing 201: Poetry” already? Well, I suppose it seems a bit earlier for me; you see, since I am located in the mid-west, I get these assignment a few hours before the “official” day-of. But I am definitely excited to get started!
Today’s assignment combo is water/haiku/simile, which made me happy enough! I am, of course, no stranger to haikus (e.g. a, b, c, d), and, in fact, my most popular poem ever is a haiku!
I was struck with an idea rather quickly. Likely, this was heavily inspired by the Bible study I was working on when I received the assignment email… And, for me anyway, it is still Sunday, so I guess it’s appropriate that my water-themed haiku with a simile is spiritual in nature…

a wonderful example of forgiveness. I like how you used your simile in a slightly delayed faction, as “like God” seems to refer back to the puddle ripples rather than “my wake”.

Yes, it’s meant to refer back to the puddles!
Thanks for your feedback; I wasn’t completely sure if it still “counted” as a simile since it is a little delayed.

it counts with me :-)
