Lake

Depression, like the pits and ditches of my heart, With clear water, like that of blood, does life impart; Adorning the environs like valued jewels, Dear lake, how clearly clean cool water in you pools...! Treasures of art, architecture and ancient tales, Cultural congruence is hidden in your veils; My valor, values, and vibrant vivacity, Draw their vitality from your mortality...! Within your chilly waters I cheerfully play, Like an elephant or hippopotamus stay; Within your womb are ponds, streams, springs and glacial mass, Serenity, calmness, and composure en-mass...! I swim, row boat, aqua cycle, and kayaking, I refresh my bored life with soul-skiing, sailing; You bring within me optimism, love for nature, Capable, confident, and love for each creature...! How I wish to visit countries highest in lakes! I desire to relish these and forget my aches; Tracing, transfiguring, and transforming, our drives, O lake! Perpetually you prosper our lives...!!! 16 March 2023 Writing Challenge - 'L' Words - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Rhymes Checked At: Rhymezone.
