Sleeping elephant
Nestling cozy, lakeside
Basking in the sun....

snake at the lakeside
soaking up the southern sun
fangs on vacation...

flat morning water
startled by harsh reflection
his youth disappeared...

Rusted mountain twins
Emeralds float on glass sheet
Smoky smudge of trees...

Stones on the lakeside
Clouds above suggest rainfall
All is silent though....

Peach sunrise
Swans on crystal blue
Green tree waltz
Blooms lakeside
in shades of pink and lilac
Colorful chaos...

Lakeside

cool waving waters
rapidly calming wind blows
fish floating resting

I can fish on Lake Notashebun 
in September for pike: 'Great Northern.'  
Known as 'Esox lucius,' 
it's so delicious 
breaded and deep fried lakeside; that's heaven....

dim clouds drift-
through a lavender sky

full moon floats-
in the deepening shade

as silvery stars-
appear with a sigh

like shimmering tears-
for a loon serenade....

Within this summer dream
Housed and bedded
Willow-arched, willow-awned
Buzz of cares slay.

Whilst that, cruel-edged, afar
As hard, no more
For city's hive shapes it.
Faded away....

Patriotism and Holidays seem to go hand-in-hand
Fire up the BBQ; strike up the brass band

  Picnics down by the lakeside; it's all mighty grand
  Though I'd rather be known for my love of this land...

The water, sandy shore, lush hills, swaying trees, the smart lakeside houses and 

boated fishermen in the breeze from the Spit of the largest reservoir in England's 

smallest county completed our beautiful Spring day in the Midlands....

Dreams unshackled by sleep 
A shooting star by campfire light 
Miles unhindered by a voice 
A lakeside stroll in day’s last light

Music shared within two hearts
A dance alone but never lonely
Laughter washes over sorrows
A love not lost as mine and only...

Yesterday was NOT like all other days, it was special
Spent early morning lakeside watching nature's spectacle
Wild life before man's intervention
A quiet scene beyond description
Of peace and harmony, life's lofty peak, it's pinnacle...

Squatting lakeside
darting swimmers 
at their feet. 

Shouldered burdens
over shadow even 
family time.

Prayers for Peace
carried in whispers
breath after breath.

Gods coloring book
pages of hope,
peace, beauty.

Just inhale
the wonder!...

My heart is swelling in my throat 
Candid emotions trespassing this note...
Love is the only cure to my heart
A cloud of fire depicting my past 
Now that you have finally arrived, 
trust and care would dwell inside.
My eternal lover we are not born to die...till we meet by the lakeside.

I saw you on the lake.
You have a nice tan,
you glistened, wet, and smiled.
We waved halfheartedly, at a distance.
It was one of those 2020 moments.

We are distanced by discipline, 
desires sheltered in place. 
Mine are burned, as fuel,
for piquant eclogues or rest,
unused, like nuclear waste....

By lakeside path
Breeze strays enough


Wind hurls dry leaves
As gifts to give


I walk on by
Attend to sighs


A stray thought finds
Sans peace of mind


A lone tear drop
Ends my flip-flop


I come to meet
The fear I greet


No much is said
With silence paid

By foreshore brink
A curious think


The lakeside draught
Hurls icy stuff


Cold air swirls flair
To flush cold fare


We walk around
Chilly strides ground


Lovely flats here
Prompt cost most clear


Hot coffee sips
In a warm grip


Kingston foreshore
Now tells me more

The screen door
Of the lakeside cabin
Is carved with slices
The size of claws
From the jumping family dog
Of long ago

From which fish flies skim through
The moonlit din
Thinning
Themselves
Into those slots

Dropped
Like silver coins
Into the lamp light
Of the cabin

Hoping it’s enough
To re-start the cuckoo clock
Left for dead
On my old man’s wall....

a question of definition

camping?
luxuries au wilderness
juxtaposition
air conditioned lassitude
with untouched raw nature
three piece baths
next to outhouses
wheels rolling through trees
electric lights break
the pristine dark
camp-fire-crackle ambiance
food microwaved
hot running water, lakeside
even the chipmunks shun
mere bread  
for more sumptuous fare....

Who are you, Winter Snow?
Where children laughed and played?
I lost my mind in a lakeside tide
Locked inside a February Rain.

Who were you, Winter Sunset?
Your light so soft and warm.
I lost my mind in a lakeside tide
Trapped inside a February Storm.

Who am I, Melted Winter?
My memory's wearing so thin.
I lost my mind in a lakeside tide
Whistling on a February Wind....
