She is splendour,
gliding galleon-like,
the curve of whiteness,
smooth on silver waters,
where the sun hides
his face in shame,
and the willows arch
their necks in wonder.
The creator knew no restraint,
when he fashioned her,
from the stars that
explode in her wake;
and tossing her head,
in elegant grace,
half turns,and beholds a
hint of beauty's mirrored face.

Re: Swan Lake
So nice to see a nature poem in the spotlight, this is penned with a grace which matches the subject matter and a descriptive flair which makes for a vivid picture of a world swooning in admiration to its beauty.
Congratulations on the spotlight!
