4 Poems by Olivia Arieti


The Lake

The water

Still and adamant

Lies in its wintry

Basin

Deprived

Of the wisdom

Of the river,

Of the grandeur

Of the sea

Yet it captures

The beauty of reflection,

A timeless mirror

For the eye.



The Colour Of Seasons

Each season

Has a colour

Of its own

Taken from

Nature’s palette

And shot

On the canvas

Of the Earth.

In turns,

They are all

Summoned

To draw

The beauty

Of Time.


The Glory Of Nature

Nature

Wakes at dawn

And paints

A grand bouquet

Of dreams and wishes

To be treasured

In our hearts

Before sunset

Wipes away

All gloss and glitter

And night unfolds

Its dreary cloak.



The Lake

The water

Still and adamant

Lies in its wintry

Basin

Deprived

Of the wisdom

Of the river,

Of the grandeur

Of the sea

Yet it captures

The beauty of reflection,

A timeless mirror

For the eye.
