the water grips my reflection
all wobbly head
quavering legs
a swathe of hillside
like an avocado slice
trees squashed together
in a bristly embrace
gluey splodge of cloud
on a periwinkle sky
shimmer of sunlight
across the lake
illuminates your face

gluey splodge of cloud
on a periwinkle sky

illuminates your face
Written: May 2015.
Explanation: A poem written in my own time, partially inspired by a set of images a friend of mine took while at Dovestone Reservoir, located in the South Pennines area of northern England, close to the Peak District National Park.
NOTE: Many of my older poems will be removed in the coming months.
