The Lake

summer at the lake
small children laughing loudly
snake slithers through weeds

The naïve innocence of young children, compared to the cunning of the snake. A delightful tree-liner. Regards // paul

Hello Allen Beilschmidts Sr. So nice to meet you.I like this poem you created. I like the scene you wrote about the lake. i like the water, I like the sound of the water, the waves hitting the shore. Have a nice day my friend.

Love the continuation of the "s" theme, and it makes the snake slither even more serious.
