A River View
Churning with brown mud,
Carp and catfish splash and jump,
Lily pads float with
white blooms adding more beauty.
Tall Elms guard the water’s edge.
Wildlife seen daily,
Blue Heron fish for supper,
Cows drink the water,
A raccoon sleeps in the tree,
An owl perches on a branch.
A river for sport,
Canoes float by surveying,
Anglers motor by,
As the river freezes blue,
Snowmobiles skate on the ice.
