Reflections In the Pond

Reflections of red and gold leaves in the pond Mingling with the silver water silently Painting nature’s picture of autumn fest With haze-like lines wavering in watercolor The glint of sun casting a hazy mystic spell BRONZE MEDAL WINNER "Write What Inspires" Poetry Contest All Poetry, November 14, 2021 written November 12, 2021

Nice imagery! ... You can give Nat King Cole (posthumously) a new song to record: 'Those Hazy, Crazy Days of Autumn!' Smiles, Gershon

Thanks, Caren. I wish I could really see it. It was a screen saver, which, by the way, I find a wonderful source for writing.

In just a few sentences, you've conveyed a beautiful thought. The utmost peace, painted in vibrant hues, is intended to settle the roaming human mind, Milton.

Thanks, Lasaad. I'm preparing to leave on my vacation. That was written about a scene which was sent as a screen saver.

Thank you so much, Anselmo. I saw this scene and it struck me as the perfect place to meditate in nature's watercolor.
