Notes About The Poem

Swans

A pond quivers in demure gusts,
cygnets of morning light undulate 
with lithe ripples.  Winter thaws,
the sun arcs over feathered rainbows 
as ice sculptures bevy like water lilies
on April's frigid cobalt.

In abrupt squall webbed feet prance 
on a mirror, capturing saffron exhalations 
of rapt poppies, a wild umbrella splayed 
like tumultuous cumulus, ending a reflection 
of snow angels promenading 
in boundless cerulean.
