Lovely lake-loon, graceful glider of still-waters, slipping serenely and silently, cloaked in finest ivory and ebony. Ruby red eyes do not disguise heart-hopes of finding her solitary mate. Whispering reeds hide her anticipation, until his call is heard. Then deftly does she guide her true-love's heart in patient-await, listening in thrilled ecstasy to his dance-trill of love-notes flipping through the air offering perfect harmony, love's rhapsody. |

Thank you, dear Kacy, your "lake-loon" is a real treat. I can close my eyes and see and hear what's going on. A very beautiful love rhapsody! Love, Margherita |

Well you know here by the ocean we have no choice but to be a little "loony" and our dollar is also a looney! I loved this one Kacey. |

Kacy, When I was young, I was taken North into Canada. The loons scared me half to death before I got use to them. Why is this poem centered? Bobby |

This fine poet can write the 'voice' of Nature! I particularly liked: "graceful glider of still-waters, slipping serenely and silently, cloaked in finest ivory and ebony." And: 'Whispering reeds hide her anticipation, until his call is heard. Then deftly does she guide her true-love's heart in patient-await..." MUCH applause! |

If you heard the loons then the poem sang true. As for centering, why not? LOL, I get bored with everything lined up flush left. Thank you each for gliding by! |

Saved faster than you can say "Looney Tunes" lol I read it three times in meditative silence. Thanks, I needed that! Your poetic shows of appreciation for nature's beauty, always make for a spell-binding read! You are as beautiful as the subjects you write about!  Love & Natural Wonders, Linda |

There is music in this piece and I can hear the call of the loon and trip the light fantastic with it while waiting for spring... although down under at the bottom of the world I may have a long wait. a good commitee can decimate communication. |
