His Prize

Irish Settler,

            watchting by lake shore,

as a lonely hawk circles,

          around the blue velvet sky,

serveral times, then flies off

                       into the horizon,

then she beckons to her

         master as she

swims out to

          retrieve his

prize.

you create a vivid scene in just a few words. just wondering, is there a reason you separated the lines this way? - curious.

Lovely imagery, James. Hope you, your family and, of course, Brendon had a lovely time at his party : )
