The shimmering lake reflected the moon light,
as the Loon call echoed in low and mournful tones;
so still the waters beneath the glowing night.
The shimmering lake reflected the moon light,
An Owl swooped low in most purposeful flight,
the evergreens hung heavy with nuts and cones.
The shimmering lake reflected the moon light,
as the Loon call echoed in low and mournful tones

Lovely! Came to search for a triolet and found one
Beautiful reflections, it gives a sense of solitude, but in a peaceful way.
Excellent triolet!

just beautiful, I so agree! I love the call of the loon & the atmosphere it evokes. You share such a wondrous and surreal vision with sights and sounds that echo vividly in form. Blue

Just beautiful, a work of art. You do nature so well, its almost likw being home in the swamps of Florida...you captured the out door lovers attention so gracefully.........novy

This is just wonderful, Dear PK. I once stayed at a cabin near Traverse City. There in small lake surrounded by fertile pine trees was a pair of loons and two babes. You have described the scene perfectly and stirred some warm memories!
Bravo!

I second Amera's take on this poem...
you captivated my imagination with this one,
my friend. I depend on imagery to take me
into poetry, and what a flight this was...
Love, Lane

This is lovely, I followed the smooth flow so easily as you brought both images and sounds into my mind. I wanted to paste my favorite line here but it would have to be the entire poem because it all fit together so well.
Love,
Amera ♥

Calm.
I loved the tone of it, and the words used, but this is not in the form I can consider for a trophy. If you're interested in changing it, please look at the outline written for you on the contest page. I thank you for entering.
