SKYWATCH
A WATERY SUN
Not the sun after a shower, but sun and clouds immersed
In the waters of a placid lake, so everything's reversed.
Instead of looking upward, by tilting back my head
I just gazed at the ripples to see the sky instead.
The effect is almost dimpled; almost normal, but not quite,
And the sun is gleaming through the clouds with a vaguely dappled light.
Skywatch? No! It's Waterwatch! I've liquified the sky!
I've saved myself a neck-ache and still watched the clouds go by!

Some water-views depress here:
Marvelous, moody shot to go with the perfect words! You do both so well!
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF!

This is rather clever. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHere the sun plays often hide and seek. The weather is dry and autumnlike. We also need rain. I wish you enough rain to colour your world green, but also enough sunshine to feel happy!
ReplyDeleteSuperb! The photo's lovely but I really enjoyed that verse to go with it.
ReplyDeleteTops.

Very wonderful lines so apt for the sky photo, albeit a reflection of the sky on the water with rippling effect.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely put together - what a great capture that was!
ReplyDeleteSplendid, - love your poetic description and the beautiful liquid sky.
ReplyDeleteA well-captured reflection ... not easy to do. Has an element of the ethereal to it.
ReplyDeleteThe verse made me smile :)
