The Round Mirror World

I step past the stone path into the bright garden dirt. Resting between thick green ferns, I discover a giant silver sphere sitting upon a dark iron stand. It is smooth and shiny like a polished spacecraft! I climb onto the stone rim and plant my boots firm. When I press both hands against the cool surface, I gasp with wonder. The entire blue sky, the tall fence, and my own face bend across the round curve! It holds a miniature universe inside one shiny globe. I lean close to touch my reflection. This garden ball captures the whole yard in a circle.
