The sky is a picture


    A picture is the sky,


    The lake is a mirror


    A mirror is the lake;


    An elm is a cumulus.


    Cumulus congestus is the elm.


    A daffodil in March is the onset


    of Spring.


    The Ash is in leaf before Spring sweeps


    into Summer.

    Whilst Autumn,


    Winter and most of


    Spring are never without the marbled


    gloves or intense bonnets of dancing


    Cyclamen.


    A sky is a picture,


    The picture is a sky,


    The lake is a mirror;


    A mirror of the sky.


    Between the deep emerald mounds


    of a pair of hills,


    Rises a Third more


    distinct,


    More blue.


    A distant hill with more glaucous


    topiary?


    Or a cloud with more affinity to the


    emerald crests than its sky-sailing


    cousins?


    Look at a silver lake and see


    an overcast sky.


    Gaze at an azure sea;


    And spy a field of gull sailing


    sapphire.


    A sky is a picture.


    The picture is a sky.
