Nice presentation of your Septolet Contest Entry, Anonymous Poet.
Good use of lesser used, descriptive nouns such as "quiescence".
Lovely...your words paint the scene quite well.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

    Thanx for the wonderful comments, Dean -- appreciate your stopping by. And I am certainly an admirer of weird words...they tend make everything 'complete'. lol! Take care.

Hello. This is a good entry for the Septolet prompt. You did a good job matching the two parts. Your use of a rippling pond and oscillating water works well here. Well done.

All the best,

Melissa

The image really carries your excellent verse.

I especially like the imagery posed on lines 4 and 6. I do get the feeling of your 'oscillating sunset' too - excellent imagery.

This septolet, Serenity's Balm, has the correct set up and captures the golden glowing wonder of nature being itself while we continue being more and more unlike it.

A very well-written Septolet describing the eagle's flight at dusk when he comes to snatches a troat for his family at home and the beauty of the sunset over the pond is mesmerizing.

Very nice. Beautiful display of nature, beauty and savagery. The symbol of majesty eats fish. Nothing wrong with that, it's just a reminder of who we are. Natures children, all part of the web of life.

You have done well with this. Two scenes of the same story. The eagle picking up dinner, and then the silent ripple of water in the sunset left behind. Very descriptive word usage. Good job and good luck in the contest.
