Dearest Victor,your poem is so serene and vivid—it reads like a gentle walk through paradise. I could almost hear the waterfall and the croaking frogs, feel the cool shade of the poplars, and see the vibrant colors of the pickerel and cardinal plants. You’ve captured the beauty and harmony of nature so effortlessly. Such a peaceful and refreshing read—thank you for sharing this lovely moment. Good luck in the contest. I'll be posting a video tonight, a collaboration with Michael Tor. I hope you will like it...Hugs

Such an incredible poem that focuses on waterfalls, streams, and the sensations evoked by the gentle waves. It hints at themes of solitude, discovery, and the peace found in nature, as well as the tactile experience of watching cascades

Sounds like a slice of Eden to me. Lovely place indeed to stop, maybe dwell eternally given the option.
