A Small Bridge After Rain

[Lizzie]

Hi Sparky! A couple of thoughts for you:

A stone bridge drips a splish
of mossy water.
Yesterday thunderheads drummed the fells;
high moors poured down.
The village leaked a limestone light.
The river pushed swans onto grey slate steps.
Today, trout are back in their pools.
Newly washed sheep graze between the clouds. -- I take this to mean that there's fog?
The small bridge, bounds from grassy sward -- small is a weak adjective
to shingle strand.
I lean over to watch the sky swim beneath, -- likewise with 'lean over' -- it's pretty bland
while like a wet dog, the bridge
rubs itself against my knees. -- this is a great image. Gross and humorous at the same time.

It's a beautiful scene study. I want it to have more emotional depth, but it doesn't need to be more than it is to be lovely. If you want to take it to the next level, it's going to need another element that provides insight or tension.

I'm enjoying your work.
