Great Regulars: After a few minutes, sit down and write

a poem on whatever your closely-examined, minutely-described space suggests to you. Use your imagination as freely as you wish, to stay close to what was in the frame, or to leave it altogether. Any theme, or development of what you observed. Any plot, experience or emotion it invokes.

Please preface your poem with an account of the "view" in not more than 30 words, eg "I was looking at leaves, a matchstick and reflections on the surface of a butt of rainwater in a friend's garden."
