A perfect world reflected
As in a mirror clear
Silent river without breath
Echoes the falling mist
Envelopes the origin
“Grains of pink sand between my fingers”
A play ground for all that is wild
Dreams of big foot
And other mysteries
*”I Shall Come Back” Hilda Conkling (age ten), 1922
nice take!
The center-formatting of the poem works well with the reflective qualities of the water and landscape in the picuter. Very peaceful evocation.
WOW! Such stellar poetry from a ten year old. So lovely, image and words. Thanks, Annell. Just beautiful.
This is a beautiful poem. Mine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/magpie-tales-98/
reflection of life and nature, divine spirits.
love your magpie,
Happy 2012.
Okay, well that explains it. I am so daft! (sound of me slapping myself upside the head:)) Your poem is incredibly beautiful and serene. I especially love “silent river without breath” and “a playground for all that is wild”. Beautiful, Annell. And I loved Hilda’s poem too!
Dear Sherry The little poem of Hilda’s is a favorite, and the that line seemed to go with the image. And perhaps it calls to mind Tofina, and Pup? Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

Warm and lovely.
A very nice take on the prompt. : )

I didn’t see the pink grains of sand until you wote them……..

I’ve seen a poem by Hilda Conkling (am not certain it was this one)–she was amazing for one so young. Elegant take on this most elegant prompt. Thank you. Happy New Year!
