Notes About The Poem

Suddenly Swans

Upon the slow-flowing river,
Suddenly swans 
Scud quickly away.

From round the bend I gracefully glide,
I am the queen of them all.

And quickly my king arrives.

The dance of love begins.
We bob our heads, wings quivering,
Necks entwined.
Unruffled snow-white plumage.

In time my eggs are hatched, 
Cygnets are so cute.
How quickly they grow.
Now we are a royal family
Suddenly swans.
