Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 The River's Banks

The river in its time and place

Does have a bank on either side.

On one bank the artist does face

The other, river in divide,

And paints as the artist does see

The shapes and colors that arise

Upon that other bank to be

Spread over the river crosswise,

In reflection of nature's art,

To be captured by eye and hand

Of mortal artist taking part

To better nature understand.

This riverbank painting be done,

The artist paints the other one.
