In the eerie backyard of the forsaken house,
Just beneath the murky pool,
Of which the translucent waters spoke,
Lived a king's guarded rule...
Of fairytales, of austere lands,
Of furious battles, of queer trends,
Of colourful people, of hopeful wonders,
Of miracles, love and magic asunder...
Of streams of clear blue waters virgin,
Of mysterious music of the fire urchins,
Enigmatic, powerful, alluring, soothing,
On the rythm that leaves you hopeful or brooding...
The air that bleeds of passionate aroma,
Of beautiful flowers of unknown flora,
Of enchanted woods and creatures unknown,
Brooding, mystical, mythical, forlorn!
Of winds so fresh that no one tires,
Of cosy, warm yet unburning fires,
Of gravity receding to let one fly,
Of earth so fruitful and never dry...
All beneath dirty water,
Lay a land of myth and wonder!
Written for 3WW and Poetry Jam (Impossible Place).
I like your idea of an other more beautiful world for us to find beneath murky waters.
ReplyDeleteA lot lies behind what we not seek...
DeleteExactly what I was thinking!
DeleteI will never look at a murky pool the same way again. I will always wonder if there is a magical place deep within.
ReplyDeleteMaybe drop a penny and see if a wish comes true mary...
Deletecool.
ReplyDeleteisnt it cool how in the most unlikely places
the most magic is found...in the murky pool
behind an abandoned house...ha...

ReplyDeleteTrue Rose... a lot cqn be found where we dont look..
DeleteOh wow :) Wish I could unravel the secrets of that mysterious land :)
ReplyDeleteI wish the same swathy...
DeleteI thought of this place often as a child as I rode with my grandfather in his boat. Approaching land the bottom of the ocean would begin to come into view, with rocks and seaweed, creatures and traps... and I would imagine.
ReplyDeleteDonna the things so beautiful we can imagine...
DeleteTo me, that is the real world. Dirty water or clear stream, there's always a mystery.

DeleteWhat an inspiration nature is when we come across it unawares and and our imagination does the rest. I really enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteSo true ... Nature does leave us wondering so much more than is already true...

Thank you spectra.. ill surely visit...
DeleteIt's a pity how many wonderful things we miss only because they lay beneath places that don't appeal to us at all... I think this idea could be applied to people as well, don't you think? Very nice take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteWe ignore a lot of things in plain sight Mrs. Minerva.... what lies beyond is often meant to b hidden.. thank you...
