There is a bridge not far from here where lilies nod and sway, along it`s banks the cat-tail quill writes ballads to the day. And looking down from vantage high the river disappears, no eddy`d flecks or depth percept the water stands that clear. No muddied silt no greening slip allowed to germinate, but speckled rock and, tinsel-topped, the river, wide awake: magnifies a pebble bed deceiving to the eye, transparent, though still far below it`s shallowness belies; and sometimes words are halcyon and othertimes a dream- but only this: sometimes a poem`s exactly what it seems. |

Thank you, Sunshine..  . Yes, sometimes we may read more into a poem than there is.. it might just be straightforward ... Best to you~! ~Amaryllis |

Amaryllis, I have been so neglectful of your work.I do read you often but usually late night/early morning and I do not always post. But I feel I should let you know you do have another reader and I have never been disapointed when clicking on your name. thank you for a lot of good reading. latearrival |

You paint a very beautiful scene. And I like the twist at the end; good insight! Adam |

Absolutely lovely! You have such a way with your words that one can't help but imagine the scene, and place themselves right in it. You are indeed a favorite of mine. |
