a hammock by the lake
swaying
back and forth
back and forth
the water laps the shore
small splashes, echoes of a gentle breeze's push
a foot dangling
over the side
a big toe
catching a drink
dragon fly buzzes
buzzes
stops
breathes
waits
then off again
long blonde hair
craving a brush
messed by resting
on the swaying hammock
a day of pure laziness
in a hammock
by the lake
I love your onomatopoeias and repeater words! Your poem creates a sense of relaxation and serenity that I thought only a quiet summer evening was capable of.
ReplyDeleteI hope my weekend is as relaxing as your poem. Wish it was by a lake, but I'll just have to create it in my mind.
ReplyDeleteA poem that I can relate so easily too... summer nights by the lake in WI. Thanks for creating such a vivid recount!
ReplyDeleteI'm inspired by your poem - I also cherish moments like those :)
