And the Pond Ripples

By L. J. Underdue

My mother taught me
that whatever one says or does
it affects others . . .
It has a ripple effect . . .

L. J. Underdue

L. J. Underdue was born in New Jersey, attended Montclair High School for two years and then Tom’s River High School North until graduation, and then attended Bloomfield College for three years. Since completing a poem in first grade, L. J. Underdue found a fondness for poetry, also being a third-generation poet. Writing was also found to be a release and therapeutic—a way to express the inner thoughts and soul, letting us all affirm that we share the same human experiences and emotions.
