Liquid Silver

by N J Thornton   Nov 3, 2005



Amidst the moonlit hours
Sounds the rushing cascade
As the clouds begin to break
Reflects the silver parade

Fountains splinter into pearls
To crash upon rocks edge
Then sprays the liquid silver
To give a harmonic pledge

Flowing as a water weave
Mirroring the former stream
Washing over pebbles beneath
Polished enough to gleam

Liquid silver turns into gold
As the sun begins to rise
And the creatures wake to bathe
Beneath the shimmering skies

**The inspiration for this (the title) came from the strangest of places...my name!
Although of course I'm neither liquid nor a waterfall. I wouldn't mind being a waterfall though...**

    Extremely consistent -- great sentence structure and stanzas -- great consistency with your amount of syllables and what sentences rhymed in each stanza in which sentences did not. However, consider proper punctuation
