Notes About The Poem

But Reflection Is

Never in secluded pools they dwell,
I speak of ornate  waterfalls,
they rise and fall majestically,
near docks, wharves and piers,
sparkle, gleam, smooth flow trickle,
eye balm whirl fantastic perk on tap,
stickybeak on podium rapids,
instigator signage when our trek seems dull,
but reflection is a gem warp cataract,
kinetic rebound  ocean wave backbeat,
which in fact an upfront blissful target,
hardly ever missing opal bulls-eye,
environmental bubbles that somehow never burst,
indulge outlandish fare Promethean,
spurt  on vermillion lanyards pendant sweep,
dream paint sunrise clementine tincture,
daub acrylic spree through pale moon orb,
squeeze tube lambent hue past frail mandala,
eternal sepia a light touch pristine shroud,
that loiters over urban life force ripple,
flaunt your image rich abundant fire

Brilliant write this is, you havr a way with painting imagery in such a detailed and artistic manner .i loved the flow of this especially the opening lines truly drew me in. And the picture youve used here too fits the poem so perfectly. I especially love “ I speak of ornate waterfalls, they rise and fall majestically, near docks, wharves and piers, sparkle, gleam,,“ magical and enchanting! And your subtle use of alliterations too is seamless. Brilliant use of colors. Pleasure reading your work
