The Lake of the Regal

On a gentle flowing lake Beneath the skies of spring The waters of the lake are graced By a bird so awe inspiring Feathers of virgin white Their plumage in regal show So majestic in their stance Upon the waters glow This bird so proud and beautiful So elegant in their display Treasured royalty of nature The swans on the lake that day http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/nature-8.php

I live very near to a small lake where I see these beautiful birds land and take flight. Your poem captures this well, great write and joy to read. Constructive criticism, does a lake flow? Perhaps "Gentle mirrored lake" would give the same imagery? Looking forward to reading more of your work, Alan.

The majestic swans do look like they belong to the "royal family" of birds. Beautiful image, James, thanks for sharing and brightening our weekend! Love, Carolyn
