Anserinae Poems

Suddenly Swans

Suddenly Swans

I was at a lake, so beautiful lake and just before sunset;
There arose in the timid cooling waters a royal bird;
Genera Cygnus so lovely long neck with webbed feet;
Grace and beauty associated with love, music, and poetry-word;
Sacred to Venus, the goddess of love;
Related to Anserinae in the family Anatidae;
This bird is often pictured singing to a lyre;
As I walk on in the waters there’re …Suddenly Swans;
In the morning dawns, along the water’s edge, on the lawn;
Suddenly, suddenly dawns;
As the lakes edge suddenly, suddenly swans;
Such a vivid pretty picture;
Royal Bird Cygnini  all of the geese, ducks and fawns…
Play amidst those …Suddenly Swans
In the morning dawns, along the water’s edge on the lawn;
As I walk on in the waters there’re Suddenly Swans;
Wonderful water bird, just beyond the lawn;
Floats in the lake suddenly swan;
