I revisited an old one today and thought I'd share
Wonders of the lagoon

Sue Pearce © 2012

Beneath the shade of willow trees
your gentle waters glisten, tease
and beckon wild geese "join me please,
come rest your weary wings".

Such solitude and peace you bring
‘neath trees now lush with growth of spring.
caressing in the shade they bring
a yen to linger here.

The dewdrops of the early morn
like silver beads they cling, adorn
the vein like growth of ferns, newborn
to natures wondrous ways.

Soft ripples form and spread they grow,
what wonders do they hide below?
through dappled shadows I’ll not know,
your secrets safe from me.

Then from nowhere a soft breeze sings
a mellow sigh and with it brings
sheer gossamer, elusive wings
of dragon flies at play.

Where native swans, soft feathers preen
and swamp frog’s chorus intervene
on mornings stillness- so serene,
resplendent in each way.

As twilight heralds end of day
the full moons shadows softly play
while opalescent beams display
a tranquil, peaceful scene.

Well done Sue. I like that, a good creation of mood.

That's lovely Sue.

That's beautiful Sue - really like it and the 4th line of each verse breaks it nicely

YES!!

Thank you all, your comments are appreciated.

Yes Sue it paint a picture that you can see.

The second line in the second verse seems a little out of place for me.
