Bodies of Water
Northern Lake
Icy water lies
still and waiting for the first
swimmer of the day.
Nova Scotia Afternoon
Gulf stream and shallow
ocean surprise my feet with
North Atlantic warmth.

Boat Trip
Right whale to starboard
a pod of pilots to port ,
how lucky are we!

North to South
From crystal blue creek
to roiling muddy mammoth -
the Mississippi.

No Comfort
The lake basks all day
turning the water into
a giant hot tub.
The Living Water
The ocean breaths in
our garbage - how soon before
it exhales on us?

Such an incredible piece.....
Hi, Shephard. Thanks. I grew up about an hour from one of its muddy parts, and was blown away by what it looked like in Minnesota...
Hello, Maria. Thanks.
Beautiful! My favorite is "Northern Lake". I love the image of the icy water waiting in stillness for the first swimmer.
Thanks, Cloudsome. I think that is my wife's favorite too - she swims those cold waters while I'm much more of a wimp. I grew up with lakes such as the ones in "no comfort."
Great! My favorite is Living Water, probably because I'm so into political verse.

Excellent selection, I think I like the last one best though, for the same reasons as Mad Kane!
Hello, Mad Kane. Thank you.
Hi, and thanks to you too, Juliet.
