Notes About The Poem

SWAN

Slowly floating down the
stream, the waterfowl glides
seamlessly along the
surface of the lake, its
soft, silky plumage, and
slender form, gracefully
sailing into the sun.

I love swans Kahalini, and your poem describes them so well. Would by any chance you be observing the black swans of WA. I've seen a few in Sydney and they too are so beautiful and graceful. Thanks for sharing. Maria

Hi Maria, I wasn't observing the black swans although I do live in WA and have seen the black swans. You are correct, they are beautiful. I think all swans are graceful, except when they are chasing you!

Thank you, Jan. I've just started writing poetry again. I'm having too much fun trying out different forms of poetry to stick with one. I will check out your nursery rhyme book. I'm currently in the process of self publishing my own children's book. Thank you again for your lovely comments.
