Wave Fest of a Lake

From its own space in pastels of morning Our town's lake wheels beneath a hued cloudscape, When day caresses and traipses inland New sun unveiling an auroral drape. How tides frolic on rubbles that grace by This pure moment holding an endless fest… When jiggle-wiggle sound of breakers glide As egrets' chorale peaks their tune with zest. On through shoreline basking on grass and fern Canvas of trees come noon...rests from this spree: Until sand dunes quiet down to merge With waves now tame ...ending lake's jubilee. ------------ 8/08/2019 Devotion To Ocean Contest Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cooke

A wonderful entry for the contest, nette - a top winner no doubt! Glad you liked the 25 years Behind Bars write. "Behind bars" in the states usually means the guy was in prison for 25 years. Sorta of a twist in the story! Always great to hear from you - Bob
