Autumn colours in the pond,
high blue screens the fish beyond,
swimming in the depth below;
will the sky soon overflow
down the weir, leaves rise to float,
from the tree’s autumnal coat?

Thanks, Edward. A bit of fun from a photo I like very much, reflections of lovely scenes can be very special! Rhiannon

melting colours, soon the blue will turn a wintry bright and cold

True, Elsie, beauty in the changing seasons.

I was intrigued with pretending in this photo that the autumn leaves on the trees would be rising from the depths etc rather than falling as the reflections were so clear – just a bit of fun!! Rhiannon

Your imagination really worked well in this poem Rhiannon.

Love the reflective idea.

Jenny.

Thanks, again, Jenny. Glad you enjoyed, and I hope you continue to be able to get out more now, with increased mobility and lack of pain. Rhiannon

like the idea of the sky overflowing, and the leaves going up. Sort of like through the looking glass
