Lake - A Haiku
cheerful break of day
a largest, happy lake sings
in spite of the bird

crystal radiance
shimmering image filled in
eye lakes' love resort
cloaked in winter white
silence reigns on frozen lakes ~
swans await spring's thaw

America’s beauty, Ted pondered
as he roamed and he wandered
past lakes, past rivers and streams
The more Ted would see
the more he would think
~ Pity I can’t take a drink
lakes are great,
the peaceful sounds.
to drift me away,
off the edge of the ground.
i want the lake,
to sink me down,
off and away,
round and round.
i want the lake.
to take the hurt,
and hide it deep inside the dirt.
Birds chirp within the vast assortment of trees
The lake shivers with each cool breeze
Butterflies are fluttering past
Fishing poles are decorating the Kelly Green grass
The fishermen dance with gleam
As they fling Blue Gill Catfish and Bass from the sea
Looking into the mirror, I discover another me,
In an ungraspable world of illusions.
When the mirror breaks, you break too,
And so do I.
Upon the lake, I discover my reflection,
Along with the shadow of someone else.
When the waters ripple and sway,
We dance together as one.
Aquifers and the Great Lakes
As aquifers in
the vast USA become
depleted and can’t,
by natures rains, be
replenished as quickly as
US needs require,
will their desires grow
stronger for the five great lakes…
to take by their force?

I've posted a piece that's longer than the poetry section allows.
called: boating
In the "Short Story" section.
I know I could take things out - to make the piece shorter and force it to fit in the poems section - but that length seems arbitrary *shrug*
Here's the URL:

If you bother, I hope you like it!
A man from north sails in his prime
to get to Accra port on time,
Pirates appear on his way,
He has no treasure today,
Needs to turn around or sublime,
He came to a swamp full of snakes,
As the snakes were scared of bean cakes,
The pirates were so amaze,
They couldn't land at the place,
As it's surrounded by dark lakes .

It’s a day in April
having a sail on Lake Windermere
lovely views all around
feeling at peace and no fear
The trees and the hills
Look so very green
Reminding me it is spring
With all it’s splendour so clean
Leaving now in the afternoon
to sail back to Ambleside
the sun is out, thankfully
feeling it’s warmth like a newly wed bride
Such a relaxing day
such a joy to behold
such a pleasurable time
a moment forever told

The Paiute tribes, before they fell*,
were known to use, masterfully well,
copious pumice and obsidian,
found on the alpine meridian,
where the Long Valley Caldera blew to hell.
* "fell" might not be the right word. A little Internet research tells me that one of the Paiute tribes, the "Bishop Paiute Tribe" has a reservation near Bishop California, near the Mammoth Lakes area, where I collected pumice and obsidian as a child.
The tiny dragons dance aloft
whilst dragonflies soar amuck
They dance over the lake, over the lake they waft
The huffle-winks peer from the muck
At the bright flittering troupe
Dancing over the water, dancing by the brush
Those dancing dragons, how they swoop!
The water ripples under
They spin, twirl and dive, such an acrobatic group
Huffle-winks leap to the flutter
Dancing over the dark lake
Prancing glad with the rest, 'til, alas, it's over
