Kristen de Kline #158 Lakeside

Down at Lakeside
things, life seems

possible     again
green and brown reeds

surface in the water,  clear
and deep ripples on the surface

indicate movement    ducks
black swans   joggers   boys

in an aluminium dingy, tight
fluoro yellow vests     and

skies, moody blue   tinged
with white     everywhere   

skies

more ripples in the water
foliage    worn planks nailed

down, weathered hard
like those days,   darkest

light splatters across the
beams     a shadow tangles

across the play of blonde
on the wooden planks

down at Lakeside you post
on Facebook: chilled energized

and happy   seventeen friends
send you red love hearts, ten

fire off big thumbs up   things,
life seems do-able     again

possible   

everywhere

skies

  2. 17 friends + 10 goods thumbs...where did the 13 poets go? To your poem, obviously! :)

    1. I’ll drink to that Rob - with the 13 poets when they’re relocated.
