Chalk Stream Dream

Gentle breeze, reedbeds quiver
Seed heads brush the sky
Golden straw reflects in mirror
Chalk stream slipping by

Dimple disturbs surface shimmer 
Trout beneath the willow
Sips small floating black gnat dinner
Eddy's swirling shadow 

Kingfisher dives down the river
Orange belly banking
Fleeting flash of turquoise glitter
Picturesque enchanting
