Lily's Pond ~*Marge Tindal*~ She floats in graceful beauty on a pond at the edge of the lawn All the glory of her showing opens on the dawn Snowy white her petals gracing pads of verdant green Lily on the pond most beautiful to be seen None other has the etiquette of this maiden of the pond Lily smiles with easy grace touched with magic wand Dipping ever slightly caressing the water clear Lily dressed in vibrant color draws the swans so near What a lovely parade as they glide across the lake Lily's pond is blooming with beauty for beauty's sake ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

You create a beautiful scene here. I especially love the part with the Lily dipping and the swans surrounding her. "Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule."~ Samuel Butler ~ |

Lovely Marge ... the title drew me in ... we have three ponds in the yard with several water lilies of various colors ... some that bloom only at night ... also a profusion of other water plants Nicely done Marge |

Sudhir~ I appreciate that it is so. Tess~ Thank you for finding that little piece so enjoyable. Beth~ Thanks for the sweet reply. Sunny1~ This came about as the inspiration from a friend in Canada who requested that I view a page and see if it inspired a poem about the lily. I did .... and it did ! The gentleman who did the page wanted to place it with the picture .... Visit the link and enjoy ..... http://www.geocities.com/mjtck/lilies-2.html PoutPrincess~ Thank you for letting me know. Bonnie~ Take a look at the photograph that inspired it ... and you will see beauty and serenity for sure. Kit~ Thank you - that means a lot to me. ETHome~ They are inspirationally graceful for sure. Thank you. Martie~ Now you are there ! Follow the link, my friend. Rex~ If it's half as lovely as the lily in the photo sent to me ... then I stand in awe at the beauty you behold. Thank you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

The lilies in my pond have never look so beautiful as they now do. You write with such color and detail and with so few words. I am in awe of your talent and once again I find myself before you with knee bent and arm draped from right to left in slow gesture I bow. |
