In the Water by William Marsland.
Your body doesn’t move,
though it does seem that way
if I look at the glass plain of calm shallows shimmering
after they caress your calves and ripple shoreward;
concentric semicircles of light and life.

Beautiful short poem, which synchs up very well with the von Blaas painting. I envy that. Whenever I try and insert a picture, it always seems a bit contrived. Again, I can't really proffer much criticism; this seems pretty perfect for what it is.

I love the simplicity of it, as well as the short, deep, emotions. It's a very beautiful poem, good job! If you enjoy dark poems like some of the ones you have written, maybe you should check out some of mine. You may like them, who knows? :)
