Shadow Hamilton Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Memories of a visit to the lake district

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.

Andrea Dietrich July 23, 2016 at 10:47 AM a wonderful summer time poem, Shadow. Very calm scene.

Richard Lamoureux July 15, 2016 at 9:23 AM This is the best kind of Acrostic because it doesn't feel like one.

Eve Roper July 12, 2016 at 9:49 AM 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.
