Nette Onclaud Poet Light Verse

Love Letter

In elegant gait, you drift with me 
My heart- swan precious as river, fresh
Like an eternal wave of devotion purely warmed
As our necks entwine through nature aligned:
Your  flutter of plumes ignites my soul
While creamy beaks cleanse each other,
Making us flit into the dew of moonlight as one--
This ballet performed in circles
Enthralls an audience rounding the pond...
I ask then, are humans mated to life like us?
Could our dance show them just how divine
We glide together bobbing as one?...
And so, in the stream of waters fine,
Take me across the lake and allow 
Such pleasure of our movement, whole
To be gently fed by all seasons' charms,
While I , in winter's chill, bestow upon YOU
My grace, my oath ...of time    evermore.

James Inman November 14, 2017 at 2:31 AM Beautiful birds Nette and a wonderful write. I know a place where I used to see 3 pairs of swans swimming on a small pond. One pair was white another black and the last black necked swans with white body and black neck and head,

Joanna Daniel November 11, 2017 at 9:38 AM That was excellent, Nette, a swanlike romance :)

Russell Sivey November 11, 2017 at 4:43 AM I believe you have captured the essence of true love, that which exists for two to be together forever "Making us flit into the dew of moonlight as one--," capturing how two swans mate for life, always being as one...wondering if we humans have the capacity to hold onto just one mate forever! I have found mine, so many have not and have found divorce a final resting place for their love...such sadness within that thought, but this poem is filled with such hope of finding that true love, GW!!

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart November 10, 2017 at 11:02 PM Beautifully done Nette! You have captured their grace splendidly in this piece, my best to you in the contest! :)
