Notes About The Poem

Lake Winnipesaukee

Lake Winnipesaukee is the largest lake in New Hampshire
Today it was filled with waves across the bay
It seems like the ocean when it gets moving this way
Surrounded by distant mountains, worth visiting to see
The ducks and loon are hiding as the blue water churns
But other times, it remains as smooth as glass
It is calming either way with every changing views
Talked about often with stories on the local news
Sailboats rock with the strong wind that blows
In summer firework colors burst above, in the shows
Bikers tour the route around it for many miles
A large lake that delivers so many fun smiles!

It sounds so beautiful Heidi and you have described it so well I can almost see it for myself. I have to be near to and see water everyday, for to walk by water is the most therapeutic thing I can do, it truly lifts my spirit! Thank you. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
