Suddenly Swans

Suddenly Swans

White winsome swans swimming in
Unison across the linden laced lake,
Petals floating in water's wake as
Wild wings flutter and they soft speak
To each other in lover's lilting lyrics.
Sun shines in the glory of the morn as 
Soft mist dissipates into azure atmosphere.
Poignant placid memories murmur as suddenly
Swans stir the heart in resonant reveries
As long necks embrace entwined euphorically.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/19/2019 5:42:00 PM You created something special with that theme, Connie. Much enjoyed your poem and the picture with it. Login to Reply Connie Marcum Wong Date: 4/24/2019 4:46:00 PM Thank you Andrea. When I saw this picture it reminded me of the elephants and how they intertwine their trunks when greeting their friends they love. I hope the ending of my poem doesn't keep me off the winners list. It is life! : ) xxoo

Bette Bavington Date: 4/19/2019 11:59:00 AM Connie I love swans. They are so filled with grace and beauty which you depicted in your imagery as they moved across the lake. Lovely piece well done. I didn't like the hunters interrupting such a peaceful scene.

Lindsay Laurie Date: 4/18/2019 6:10:00 PM Hello Connie … swans are such graceful birds. Ours are black swans but don't appear quite as graceful as the white swan, but get near their nest, and it's you who appears graceful in flight - an elegant verse Connie - Lindsay Login to Reply Connie Marcum Wong Date: 4/18/2019 7:14:00 PM We have only black swans bere in Hawaii too Lindsay. I remember how elegant the white swans in Ireland looked...picture perfect. Thank you my friend.: )
