By the Lake

How calm and serene is the blue lake today.
In delight over the surface, some breams jump high.
From afar I spy swans gliding my way,
Warm sun invites birds to fly up in the azure sky.
Beneath a tree, my love rests near me and I utter a sigh.

Ahh!! How romantic. I used to like bream as a meal when young but the last time we caught some and cooked them they were far to fishy. Something got lost along the way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my poem. Sara
