स्मृति ! aka That which is remembered


Reminiscing Crater Lake :)

There was a young woman new to the city
Though she was witty                                                                                   
She knew not many a friendly soul in the city
Then she met a very nice person

Whose friends welcomed her in warm unison
They took her along in their trip to Oregon 
And showed her for no fee
A piece of nature, she had not anticipated to see

The beauty of the scenery
Was a symbol of nature's grand finery
The sense of wonder, upon seeing the lake
Was a joyful memory in time, for her to take

While I am in the middle of writing about the recent memorable Boston trip, my mind drifted to the past and the memory of my crater lake visit with a bunch of enthusiastic people came to my mind. Reminiscing it's beauty makes me perceive to some extent the state of mind John Keats should have been while writing the poem A Think of Beauty is a Joy Forever . These thoughts led to an amateur's quick attempt at this above poem :).
