Lakes Poems - Poems about Lakes

Shadows of the Valley creatures of the dark pitted dome scantily clad dryads' hissing drones they rally without souls—pod like, they roam throughout forests assiduously marled awoken from the darkest depth twigs and branches splayed and snarled shadows of the valley doyennes adept distracting sheaves as straws spewing dirt they bask in on battered brain gnaws Taken in is florescent energy of the soldiers asleep wondering lost deep...

Your skin sparkles with starlight electric and soft as moth wings. We sip the pink sky lemonade lakes cascade through our fingers time unspools between our hands while the past drinks from our open palms. The air crackles...

The learning curve is much too steep; I’m stuck at the bottom Staring at mountaintops, Swept away by rivers, Eroding with the skeletons Whose bones faded so long ago; Count me with the corpses— I died before I lived Kissed by the noose in the water As I walked off the final step And forgot how to float.

Chesuncook Lake, you are the source of hydropower’s natural force and from your bounteous water store you serve when...

The great bird feathered harpoon Flung from one shore to the other Soaring over the Caribbean green of Torch Lake Flies at the bow of my speeding boat Or should I say more accurately I race on the morning frill of waves At the Blue Heron’s pointing wing 20 miles per hour On the nose Skipping stones lake to sky to lake How to...

Take Me There Take me to the place where it’s broadly known In meadows and woods famous poets roamed Where hosts of blithe yellow daffodils dance In expectation of budding romance. To view magnificent mountains and lakes And spectacular countryside landscapes In hopefulness that it all will inspire My muse to explode alike a drumfire.
