Well Seasoned Thoughts

To lose one's attention in the spell of a multi- hued water lily. 

Ignoring caresses from ever patient Breeze 

As memories of Winter's grasping clutch in early Spring 

Return on this late Summer's day to tease 

And yet the instant intense beauty of the flower 

Reminds one of the coming painted Fall 

With the Impressionistic pixel count of leaves 

To savor and to wander in with ease 

Ignoring still caresses from ever patient Breeze

First off, let me say that I thoroughly enjoyed how you left out "the" in the lines about the breeze, making it seem human. As though the person in question is neglecting an ancient spirit, a muse so divine yet not divine enough to tear them from the image of unspeakable beauty that lay before them! Wonderful!
Your imagery here is simply delightful! It's so vivid. I can almost smell the light scent of water and flora!
I love how you mention each season, as in this one reflective moment, one can absorb every season at once in one way or another.

A very wide piece. Well done!

Innocent poetry. that*s the my impression.

You've captured that flower beautifully, such pace suggesting the breeze through the flower, the capitalisations the petals, beautiful, flowing, fluent poem
