Daniel Turner Poet Rhyme

The Water's Edge

Come join me at the water's edge
Where orange lilies grow
And tiny blossoms grace the sedge
Brown and pistachio
Wet mossy rocks, dark emerald green
Make music with its flow
Soft sparkling ripples, bright citrine,
Reflect the  autumn's glow

To nature's song, we'll watch the trees
Perform the season's show
They'll chatter softly with the breeze
Who hints of coming snow
Then shivering leaves begin to fall
And form a leafy throw,
Which leaves behind until spring's call
Evergreens and mistletoe

Aqua Marine December 30, 2018 at 12:17 AM This has a lilting finesse in it's poetic flow, Daniel- exquisite colour words like pistachio, and citrine are inspired choices. Your rhythm and rhyme carries the reader along in sensitive choice of words. Autumn on your side of the world lovingly depicted. Kind Regards, AM.

Vladislav Raven October 9, 2018 at 6:23 PM Hi Daniel, such a wonderful song you sing, such strong images you paint. This is a gem of a write. I read "The Water's Edge" and I feel such joy and peace ascend on me. Your descriptions are excellent. I am there, in the heart of your canvas. This has to be a fave my friend. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Your friend always....Mike.

Darlene De Beaulieu October 9, 2018 at 4:54 PM Hello Daniel, I like to be by the water, i like the sound of water hitting the shore line. I can see myself there watching the water edge. Have a nice evening my friend.

Carolyn Devonshire October 9, 2018 at 4:33 PM How lovely, Daniel! The images you use to convey the sights and sounds of fall at the water's edge are a delight. Many great lines -- the "leafy throw," "hints of coming snow" are among them. Also enjoyed the thought of the mossy stones creating music, which they actually do, but it takes a poet to note this. A thoroughly enjoyable read, my friend. Thanks for visiting. Hugs, Carolyn
