By the Lake - Constanza

Here by the lake distractions few My mind feasted on nature’s food That sets me in a loving mood The scenes that greets me always new A perfect place where lovers meet While some just come to wet their feet Birdies chirping, grass wet with dew Squirrels scampering up and down Dogs stretch their leash their face a frown All types of fish of different hue Swimming around ripples they make Eating the crumb of children’s cake In the water so cool and blue Reflection of a sunny sky Guys on water bikes splashing by Here by the lake distractions few The scenes that greets me always new Birdies chirping grass wet with dew All types of fish different hue In the water so cool and blue For Andrea Dietrich contest: Can you Constanza

Joy, Congratulations on your placement in Andrea’s “Can you Constanza? Contest.” There were so many really amazing entries we had a very difficult time deciding. We had to go by who followed the form best, and whose poem was most creative. I spent 4 and half hours going over the poems and Andrea, a lot longer. Thank you so much for your wonderful entry Mahalo, Connie
