The perimeter Has been laid out; A fine frame To encase our landscapes. We choose where to start, Working from the top, bottom or sides, And moving towards the middle ground, Where land meets water, The mountains are snow-capped, The autumn skies are resplendent With patterns of red and blue. The copse is shadowy, With dark green pines ******* soft clouds. The white-capped lake will never quieten; But we piece our puzzle.
