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.

  Aster Violetta unfolds her regality

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  after the transition from August to

  September.

  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.
