Sonnet To The Lake

Sonnet about Marine Creek Lake

Sonnet To The Lake

The Hornwart and the Curly Waterweed
Lend shelter to the hatchling Perch and Rudd.
While up above, the Rushes and the Reeds
Hide Bitterns on their platforms in the mud.
Beneath my feet, the rocks at water's edge
Lie shrouded in a green and glowng fur,
While all around, the Locusts voice a pledge
With which the Toads and Damselflies concur.
The Cockles and Tellinas have abandoned
Their albinistic shells along the shore,
While Warblers have watched and reprimanded
Those wasteful wretches littering the floor.
In this lacustral place I've found a rest
From paltry problems Peers may long obsess.
