Jon Jones Poet Rhyme

Spring On Lake Michigan

I look upon the water glittering and bright, white caps flashing, dancing diamonds in the light 

The breeze is strong, crisp and clear. Boats abound jibing sails dotted far and near 
A flash of white and screeching cry, seagulls appear racing through the sky
Sun on my face fills me with cheer, for finally spring is here

The coast before me melds into cityscape, buildings spiraling high. Glass and steel glimmer bright in the light, stretching far before my sight

People hurry by hither and thither, and I wonder if any take a pause to consider	
The beauty of this place, this breath in time, spring is here truly a moment divine
