River’s mist rises in the morning
evaporation of water released
tiny molecules not seen
seaweed tugs beneath the surface
it breathes as it slides and supersedes
nature’s embroidered landscape

This is just lovely, Pamela. I especially like "nature's embroidered landscape."
ReplyDeleteyes i just visited the join between the river and the sea here, the mist and the seaweed.
ReplyDeleteWow. Compact!! Nicely done...doesn't seemed forced whatsoever. Great work, Pamela!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture! I love the river's mist in the morning, that's one of the best expressions of nature.
ReplyDeleteSuper, Pamela. You've created a lovely image. Do you need the "on" after supersedes?
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary:)
ReplyDeleteJanet thanks:-)
ReplyDeleteFor lack of time, it ended up being quite short, Paula.
ReplyDeleteIt is Mary:)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't though about it, Viv. I took it out, works better now.
ReplyDeleteThat was fantastic! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Pamela .. and I like the way you used "embroidered!"
ReplyDeleteA lovely poem. It was nice to see you write something short, showing your range.
ReplyDeleteLovely alliteration of "s" sounds creates a softly musical atmosphere! And the last line is a drop of magic!
ReplyDeleteThe brevity took nothing away. It said what it had to say. Admirable.
ReplyDeletePamela, How weird, I thought I'd commented on this yesterday. Maybe I read it and thought I'd come back? I love this piece. It is more concise than you usually write, and you rise to that very well. I especially like the two final lines. Beautiful.

Love the image you have created, one of my favorites. And that last line is perfect. Thanks for visiting the collab,

Pamela, concise and lovely. I like "tiny molecules not seen" and how it's about the evaporation of water before and/or about the seaweed below the surface after.

ReplyDeleteNow I like this. Very tight use of the words. A talent I don't have. Very nice. I posted ne late.
ReplyDeleteLovely imagery.
