MAG 122 ~ Likeness



Puddle, 1952, M. C. Escher







Likeness

A puddle collective on the ground.
Mirror images mired in detail
reflective of all that's around.


Tracks and footprints form the frame
to cup and stabilize the fallen rain
of splendor in a muddy marsh.

As I read your poem, lovely was the first word that came to my mind .. I imagine Tess and I won't be the only readers with this reaction.

The neatly, organized structure of your poem is a beautiful contrast to the chaos of the natural elements playing off each other. Neat and fabulous. Thank you, Michael.
