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!

Marvelous, moody shot to go with the perfect words! You do both so well!
Happy SWF!

This is rather clever. Well done.
Here 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!
Superb! The photo's lovely but I really enjoyed that verse to go with it.
Tops.

Very wonderful lines so apt for the sky photo, albeit a reflection of the sky on the water with rippling effect.
Very nicely put together - what a great capture that was!
Splendid, - love your poetic description and the beautiful liquid sky.
A well-captured reflection ... not easy to do. Has an element of the ethereal to it.
The verse made me smile :)
Delightful image and poem this week! Love the way you've liquified the sky ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

Looks mezmerizing!
Happy weekend!
How clever of you to photograph a reflection! Cool!
Clever reflection, the ripples in the sky are fun.

I love the watercolor look to the photo...a first I really thought it was a painting. Your written words are so well put.
Wow! That's a reflection? Very nice.
