The world in a puddle

The world in a puddle

A puddle
tiny and shiny
in the sun
in the middle of a muddy trail

A puddle
passed by hikers
who rush towards the snow-covered summit
countless steps
countless splashes

A puddle
halts an exhausted hiker
He kneels, bends, and stares at the puddle
He sees young meadow
aged forest
graphite mount
and its snow-white peak
shining in the blue sky

Simon Hosken - Not only is this first rate - but the sort of poem I would like to have written - my only qualm (forgive!) is that 1 or 2 of the lines are unnecessary or that the poem could have been a little tighter - but without doubt - what can I say

S. Sharpe - nice both on attentiveness and reflection of the beauty in anything and everything
