A Gentle Cascade

 




Glistening green leaves caught my eye 

as if a vining hand had reached out to me suggesting that the photo op of the day 

would be missed if I kept on walking. 

I stopped, looked at it. It was quite lovely 

but no flowers, except for perfectly shaped 

leaves in a gentle cascade down a quaint old gate. 

I did feel compelled by the vining cascade 

to take its picture and so I had this photo 

for tonight’s bit of poetry.




“Taking pictures is savouring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.”

~ March Riboud, French photographer
