As usual, spot on, my friend. I wonder if it looked like a butterfly in real time. Nice flow to this. Good rhythm. Actually, a good poetic aura also.
My best, Treischel.

There is not much more beautiful than the images created by reflections upon a body of water.

This poem provides is beautifully done. Then, if the reader was left with any doubt as to what was playing out, the explanation of what is actually was put it over the top.

Great photography to be able to capture this and it really augments the poetic story so well

It is an incredible photo, Tom, and as always, you had your camera ready. It's lucky for us that you do to, otherwise we'd miss these little gems. I enjoyed your poem too, it is different, and needed to be to match the photo, the words are magical and made for a pleasure to read and view. Excellent, my friend. :) Sandra x

Your way of this poetry, by that I mean the inspiration; the origin of the concept is profound. That you took the picture first, then printed it out and thought of what you could do with this amazing sight is unbelievable and very impressive and respected. For others, the concept would have popped up first, then the picture to follow, depicting the exact meaning.
The poem and the image goes very much along like tagging two friends on social media

I have been reviewing for many years now and I am pleased to say that this Boutonniere is the very first one that I have seen, and very well composed as well.

The problem with writing in completed trochaic linespecially is that everything ends up sounding like Hiawatha. We just like to finish on a stressed syllable. You find the same sort of thing with the few poems written in dactyls. Ending a line on two unstressed syllables is really weird.

Whatever it was you were on when you wrote this it has Coleridge-Taylor Xanadu beaten into a cocked hat. That's one heck of a big butterfly. Lol.

That's a lovely find. I've never seen a lagoon besides the movie Blue Lagoon. Well thought out poem. Nicely written. Good visual imagery. Great lyrical flow of rhythm and rhymes. Good author notes too. Enjoyable read.

Hi TRIESCHEL,
that certainly is a great picture. I like the style of the poem and the repeated lines mirrored the reflection of the bridge. This sounds complicated but you have written a really pretty poem.
Well done.

A very well-written poem. Your walk on the pathway produced a wonderful sighting that you could miss if you were just a few minutes later.

I think we are lucky that you keep that camera with you so much! *smile* This is such an unusual pic, Tom. But it makes a dramatic statement. Like the idea about it being a butterfly. HAHA! Thanks!
