Joseph May Poet Free verse

Ripples in the Lake

 Ripples run across the lake
  Racing to the shore,
 The unmistakable call of a Loon 
  Echoes across the water
 When the echoes fade, silence reigns again,
  Marshmallow clouds floating by
 Cast their reflection on the water;
  A cormorant dives beneath the surface
 To nibble on the clouds...
