Mountaintop Lake

WHAT A REFRESHING SIGHT !

Once, I went to a mountaintop lake 
    To invigorate my worn out self,
In tranquility, my eyes did take 
    Lovely pics of the watery shelf;

The colourful fish donned their shimmer
    With multihued scales of smooth veneer, 
My heart was sated by their glimmer, 
     As clear blue water mirrored my cheer; 

Rejuvenated by the verdure, 
     I sat drinking in the treetop view,
Never had I seen beauty so pure, 
     Where everything was blazing anew;

Enthralled, I listened in the silence
     To those whispering sounds of nature,
Whistling rustles confirmed God's presence,
     His art imprinted on each feature.

Really good job with this, Jo. You incorporated the key words seamlessly! I especially liked the first stanza and the concept of taking mental pictures. Congratulations on your placement. Kind regards, John.
