Memories of a visit to the lake district

Languid days of Summer set me afire Amber sun beams delight my heart. King Fishers as they dart past Each one swoops as it flies to its post. Down by the river's edge I watch, and listen- See each one as it dives - Then, back to its perch. Resting there awhile as life flows by. In the still silence I hear each sound of Calm waves which gently lap creating Tranquil sounds that abound. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This is the best kind of Acrostic because it doesn't feel like one.

Shadow, oh such a peaceful and tranquil Acrostic, I am loving this 7 ~

I loved sitting out by the beach and seeing the pelicans fly and scoop up their prey, smelling and listening to the waves come up to the shore and hit the pier or the rocks, and the sea lions bark out on their little island. You made me smell the ocean with this peace, Shadow.
