Description Be drawn, beside the quiet rest pool,
Grow lost, betwixt the rushing tide.
Stand still, the touch of flow consumes me,
Fall down, behind the curtain slide.

Rest here, the pool of aching beauty.
Wake now, all senses, motion, glide.
Lay hold, of sudden righteous duty.
Spring forth, from land of glory, wide.

Rocks and pure water flowing... This one is so relaxing that I can't help but to smile while I look at this piece...

Wonderful colours and sense of motion...

awesome waterfall, that's some flow going there! I adore waterfalls, and I really enjoyed the accompanying words...really evoked a sense of watery abandon


btw, what's the K. stand for in your name?

The Water is a gorgeous color, very beautiful landscape to take a picture of.

The colors collab quite well, too. So I'll give you an A okay but watch out, I'm not always nice

And the poem is very pretty, I like the style.

I'd love to jump in.
Maybe sometime, use an exposure of a second or more to let the water blur.
It can be a nice effect.

Thanks! I didn't have my tripod with me unfortunately, and I don't have steady enough hands for a one second exposure

well i suppose you know what i'm going to say. beautiful ^^

you know, i cant figure out if youre a poet or a photographer. but i suppose you can double as both. probably the next best thing to your photos are their descriptions tell me, where was this taken?

eggwacker In reply to deirdre-a [2005-08-22 00:23:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks I've been writing long before photography, but haven't written much poetry until now. It was taken in Alberta, Canada.
