Reflection (Idyll - Etheree)

REFLECTION (Idyll – Etheree) peace meadow rippling stream pebble strewn path leading into woods mountains on either side we stop to pick some flowers wash faces in the cool water surprise! a fawn appears reflected in a still pool surrounded by rushes the animal seems unaware of us we must remain completely quiet how wonderful the reflection this fawn with blue sky above but a minute to dream to capture the scene then a ripple now it’s gone the woods deep

I love your Idyll and the way you laid it out. A peaceful/serene image, I love being with nature, it makes one stop and think. Thank you for sharing. Caryl

wow Daver, you did like me today. I TOO did an etheree today on deer!! A close encounter of the deer kind. Also carrie did one too, but not an etheree. I love this. And please please tell me you too did not think I was only referring to being inside a little room when I wrote my "symbolic" poem? Gosh, I think only one or two people got what I was saying in that poem (unless you are joking with me) Luv, andrea

Dear Daver, thanks for reading my gothic poem and for commenting on it. It’s not too spooky unless you dislike ghosts :) I love your poem, Reflections, it’s just the kind of poem I like to read. It also reminds me of the tree farm we maintain in Canada where such things happen. Love, Amy.
