The warm sun streams through the trees Shedding light upon the wooded pines The aroma of freshness fills your nostrils As the sun glints off the sparkling lake. The old green pier, paint peeling Where I've sat watching the water ripple And the little bugs that skim the surface Zipping this way and that and round in circles Walking down the sandy, rocky road To sit quietly in the sand pit and watch Waiting for those loveable deer To come sprinting by with their young With their sandy coats and white paint splotches As their ears are perked, concentrating Waiting to see if they're in danger Then munch upon the cool grass Vibrant reds, yellows and purples Strewn across the plush greenery With the tangles of berry bushes That became a feast to the animals The mucky bottom of the lake The coolness of the water That chilled you momentarily As you took a dive from the pier The old boat silently riding As the wooden oars stirred the water Crossing half the lake to the island To lazily walk the trodden paths The sunsets beauty As it painted itself across the sky With deep pinks, purples and orange The days end mirrored in the lake Showing off Nature's Majesty Here's the challenge for those who are interested.

White Dove, The imagery in this was absolutely stunning!!! I'd say you have met the challenge and then some!! I felt like I could see it all as you described it right there in front of me. Excellent!!!  Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

I love the word pictures you have painted here to create the images that bring the reader so close to the wonders of nature.......beautiful work!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Wow reminds me of the pier near where I live excellent job. Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |
