The cattails and frogs were less than amused today By mallard duck, dressed so weird down by the bay Duck named Tuck was getting ready to dive Bees laughed at him, and raced back to their hive Damselflies and dragonflies flitted around merrily They liked ducks who acted silly and prissily Did you see his suit? It is from way back...

Premium Member Morning at Lake Red Haw
choppy and cold river, white foam is gathering as if it has been in a blender there is no sound this morning, no bird speak, no crickets, it is silent I dipped my hand into the water, it was freezing like a frozen halibut. A peanut butter cup made its way to my mouth, I tasted salt and...

Heart By The Lake
Life is a rollercoaster of emotions Once you are happy, In a blink you're sad: Or in a glimpse of a rage memory, you'll feel at lost, regretful of the past. Our mind's a spring of feelings, it's up to you how you react. Forgive yourself Is one wise act. Forgive others Is a perfect path. Your real self Is in a nutshell. You can...

LaKe Reflections
The skiff chug's along toward the end of the lake where the tall peaks are. When I cut the outboard high snowcapped mountains dived down into the still water, below, eagles flew under the hull. A panoramic sky rolled under me. my red and yellow float became briefly entangled in a high white cloud. A fat trout slipped around a deep sun. No way to catch that....

Take my hand with promise
There's a widow that sits beside the seaside The sun shines on her face There’s a morning light that cries and sits beside her place And there is an eye That melts at the touch It’s hidden not much For a fake Did you know the greatest treasure lost Was found at the bottom of a lake The widow sits beside its hand she shall...

Lake Of Fire
Lake Of Fire The Earth is unbound. Sin to cancer. The dead are judged accordingly. If your name is not written in the book of life. The living is saturated and blind. Below will be anguish and cries. You will become pillars of salt. You can run to the mountains. You are nothing but flesh...

The Lake
The Lake..... lies… still, a glistening sheet of tin foil, shimmering in a cold-eyed wind. At night the lake still... lies… still; a coffin with lid screwed light-tight. On occasion, the moon trickles light, lightly across the lake's pitch-black back; the knack of making the coffin lid crack! Today, I challenge myself to touch-dive the lake’s chilling depths, halfway down I halt, a dark vault, weakens my...

Glacial Lake Sonnet
It’s hard to comprehend when I look out, but the science has left so little doubt, ten thousand years back, this place I call home was chilly depths, where only fishes roamed. The whole if it a lengthy glacial lake, but to my mind that seems like some mistake. Ten thousand years…that doesn’t seem so long, Karan Tepe is older, it feels...
