Poem 429 – Kenwood Bridge

The perfect vision
Arching delight

Curving crisply
Casting the light

Reaching over
Reeds and blue water

Alas this bridge
Is an imposter

To celebrate half term, we took some time today to visit Kenwood House and grounds. Over the lake reaches this beautiful bridge which can be seen from the house. Close inspection, however, reveals it is a sham – it is a two dimensional prop!
