Nola Perez Poet Light Verse

The Lady In the Lake

The lady in the lake
satiated no more
sends a thousand wavelets
to worry the shore

Motion and music her
special blend
beneath the baton
of the conductor wind

A soothing libation
was my sunset intention
destroyed by a blackbird's
red-winged invention

So much for Happy Hour,
(and if you find it believable
the wind is as reckless
as Evel Kneivel)
