The Edge

She skipped along the edge of the lake,

her refection dancing upon it's clear smooth surface,

soft hair flowing

in the cool November breeze...

singing a melodic autumn song

while happily tossing flower petals

into the water...

and as I watch from the thicket

at the edge of the woods,

I am mesmerized by her charm

when it occurs to me...

I have never seen the lake

look more beautiful

Her reflection on the water making the lake more beautiful... I adore the sentiment, just sweet and romantic writing here. I enjoyed.

[Neville]

that wouldn't have happened to be Wimbleball Lake would it .. because if it was, then I think I saw her too ..

[willweb]

I've not heard of that lake but if it offers images this lovely then, I need to find where it is located. Thanks my friend.

Admiring a transitory beauty cross the stage, the poet falls in love with nature's stage.

[willweb]

Especially when the stage holds an image this pretty. Thank you so much.

A strong psychological effect portrayed in poetry. The beauty of one thing becomes associated with another proximate to it. So well said Will in your typical poetic way.

[willweb]

Thanks so much Soren for always inspiring me to do more.

[Betty Hermelee]

Nothing like a beautiful reflection in the lake, not the ordinary trees surrounding, but a lovely girl skimming on the side gently throwing petal in to the lake.. why wouldn't this reflection be eye catching??? lovely words and images as always Will; thank you for sharing this fine piece.
Warmly, B

[willweb]

Thank you Betty. There are some images that stop us in our tracks...this I believe would be one of them

[Betty Hermelee]

You’re very welcome Will; I’ve missed you in our exchanges of poetry…..
Warmly, B

I feel the lake becomes extra special as it holds the face of the 'she'. It is beautiful! ❤

[willweb]

Thank you so very much Mou. It certainly does become much more special.

You really are one of the prize romantic poets in here, willweb!

'humming a melodic springtime tune
while happily tossing flower petals
into the water . . .'

Such a painting in letters swept across your reviewers' eyes - super sweet, sir.

[willweb]

Thank you so much my sweet friend. I appreciate your kindness always.

Love the twist at the end...her charm...the lake's rather than the woman.
perhaps they are both "she's"----both ladies to love.

[willweb]

Thanks Jacob, I guess that could very well be true, bith it seems were beautiful. : )
