Lake Cliffs of Erie

Standing on the edge of a cliff
toking a smooth fat spliff
waiting to catch sight of a skiff
Floating it's way on by

Watching the majestic girl soar
no longer a beast of lore
wish for increasingly more
She passes a look on the fly

Brown with white head and tail
power that will never fail
enchanting how she sets sail
Makes me start to cry

Bounding stag hidden by ivied hoods
sneaky 'lil squirrel dashing with his goods
amber kits darting through the boxwoods
Violet western sun in the sky

I adore the second stanza. Something about it makes me feel light and uplifted- even though that isn't necessarily its goal, I think your prose is beautiful and those simple lines make me smile. This entire poem is gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing!!
