A Waterway Walk. Poem by Fay Slimm
A Waterway Walk.
A sudden gust of misty breeze rushed in
And left pinheads of wet on windblown hair.
Though swans still floated in for late dinner
I had to go and leave them mutely there.
Such galleon-feathered whiteness, rare sight
Which catches breath away, over twenty
Swans together, gracing sunshine's last light,
As clouds loomed in, dropping gloom again.
Where better to see nature, - in array
Along a lake or pond, where goose and duck
Are searching now for nest-sites. Then they lay
Their future broods that when once hatched will look
For all the world like clockwork toys, darting,
So alive to mothers' wings, thus fleeing harm.
Around this watery world I walk, as part
Of daily habit, - - to embrace it's calm.
aww fay.. beautiful. though maimed, fay takes me to many places..
there is something so peacefull about just sitting and watching beauty...you take us there so easily...nice write
Fay, your imagery blows me away from Australia to you on your wonderful daily walk. The clockwork toys and twenty swans gracing sunshines last light made me realize how special your walks are. Wonderful writing! Karin Anderson
Your poems are so truly beautiful.. And your love nature, And your passion for life always dances in you writing... Now when I see a Bird Landing in the water, I think of you... Our when I go on a walk and see a amazing little wild flower....I think Fay Fay the beautiful wild flower.... Randy~*~
