Dargle River Summer Swan Poem by Bernard Kennedy

On the river, Dargle- after the bridge,
just behind the hotel, a river walk,
Bray town side, and river side the
Swan, stately, slowly, gliding,
erect its head, all in view it looks-
sliding and gliding, like man-0-war;
on the slow river.
Its view - all side in turn
and slowly guiding its viewers.
on this river, its kingdom.
Paddling beneath, but glides,
contendedly controlled its movement
as a summer sun Swan- upon,
this olde river run.
Viewed by boardwalk or river bank.
Its stealthily styled swim
of observation.
Summer swan like a cruise ship
upon the Dargle River slow.
