A Passing Canoe

Light
reflects
Autumn's ink
on smooth waters,
an image stirred by a passing canoe.

An image stirred by a passing canoe
on smooth waters,
Autumn's ink
reflects
light.

Fall
dabbles
red pigment
strewn all about,
as Autumn arrives and Summer departs.

As Autumn arrives and Summer departs,
strewn all about
red pigment
dabbles
Fall.

I see the reflection you’ve created here and also the imagery you’ve painted is so very beautiful and soulful. Canoes i love canoeing, and the picture you’ve used in this fits the theme of the poem so eloquently with autumnal imagery. Gorgeous! Pleasure reading this take. Congratulations on your well deserved win
