Occurence In An Oculus

river is waist deep
ambience of lily pads 
swings elephant trunks
multitude of rubbernecks
in dugout canoes; and me

Kim, I love the visuals created for me by your Tanka! I feel like I'm in a Tarzan movie! Happy Friday xxoo

I love love love the Tarzan reference, Mike! My Dad used to put on a silent reel of Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan. The cool thing is that my Uncle-in-law was taught to swim by the actor, as his mom was also an actress and his brother played in Black Beauty with Elizabeth Taylor…just a cool story to share! Thank you!

Enjoyable poem, dear Kim. I can't recall if I have ever been on a canoe in my life. Hugs.
