After the storm–a world in a puddle
Under
and upside-down,
there is another world
of trees and clouds. A different sun
shimmers,
illuminating this dream-place,
ephemeral, lasting
a brief wind-kiss,
then gone.
For today’s NaPoWriMo, Day 9 prompt to write a shape poem. This is a butterfly—two cinquains that are merged into a butterfly shape (but not actually two cinquains). I hope that also works for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday challenge.
Some people know I’m a bit obsessed with reflections. 😏
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
Reflections are absolutely stunning! It amazes me to see the world so clearly in a reflection.
Thank you so much!
Very welcome!
I love “a brief wind-kiss.” I am also fascinated by reflections.
Thank you very much!
I love reflections too! Lovely, Merril. Enjoy your evening.
Thank you, Jill!
IT’S A BUTTERFLY ❤ ❤ ❤ I love it, Merril! And I love how short and succinct it is, and the upside down world reflected!
Thank you very much, Shuku! It’s funny how deep puddles seem sometimes.
I’ve always felt the need to pull an Alice in Wonderland and dive into reflections. Bewitching poem.💜
Thank you so much! 💕
Although so few words, I like they way so much fits with dreams.
Thank you very much, Frank!
And you capture that world so well. (K)
Thank you very much, Kerfe!
An alternate reality captured so well in words and photograph.
Thank you very much, Rose!
I am enjoying your obsession, as well as your reflections in words. 🙂
Thank you very much, Robin! 😀
This is a beautiful shape-poem. Love the images you weave within your reflections.
Thank you so much!
Reflections are so much fun to work with. I really love the wind-kiss, Merril. ❤
Beautiful!
One can imagine a new world in a good reflection. Well captured:)
