Lofty Pines Resort


      lofty pines
      encircle
      the opal pool
      surreal shades 
      of blue
      shimmer through
      shining
      swimmers’ inspiration
      skies elevation

At least/last, some wonderful people, like you, are viewing, and even commenting, on a poem of mine. It's been a while.

Hey Gershon, we live so much of our lives in wide, sprawling mental spaces filled with distraction. But when we find ourselves encircled by nature, framed by tall pines and looking into clear, luminous water, our focus narrows in the best possible way. I love how the poem has this gentle, liquid cadence that feels as refreshing as a swim in a brook. Crisp, elegant, and beautifully evocative work, Gershon. Blessings Daniel

Gershon, your poetry captures the resort's peacefulness. Imagining "opal pool" with "lofty pines" is relaxing and uplifting.

Thanks for supporting my efforts, Hiya. I really appreciate it... As you can tell by looking at my eerily low number of views for the last week, somehow I am now anathema for most of Poetry Soup. I don't know what's happened, but I give you credit for not being influenced by it. With gratitude, Gershon
