Picture Perfect

entry picture

A cold, clear start to the day
birdsong carries on the breeze 
The bright sun a centrepiece 
framed by tall, skeleton trees

The lake is like a millpond 
still waters reflect the skies
A picture perfect postcard 
of this December sunrise

Thanks for the likes and lovely comment Keith. The poems with photo credit to Dr Amir Khan are taken from his Twitter feed, with his permission! I find his posts inspire little writes. He lives in Yorkshire.

I live in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria.

Julie,
Both poem and illustration are perfectly matched. Your love and appreciation of the natural world shine through in all your poetry. I often wonder from your vivid description if you live close to where I am as this morning is exactly as you have described it.
Thank you for this
Keith
