A gentle breeze lifted a hushed whisper from the trees
where they stood overshadowing their dark reflections,
their grassy feet dipping into the still, green water.
Long-bodied insects walked upon the pond's mosaic,
lifting casually from sullen, telltale ripples
of surfacing fish. Nothing else moved along the bank.
Mom,
I agree, while reading this it does paint a portrait. I love the line about the long bodied insects, this adds movement to the paint but only breifly. Really beautiful SAVING IT! Love ~Shell
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
