Elbow Lake 1 and 2

i)

no party boats today
lake is quiet and smooth
through the forest:
humming highway tires
rushing to the city

acoustic chords 
rolling off Ontario rocks
and ridges

ii)

dragonfly drones hover
over the lake
zipping out
snatching deerflies midair 
later mosquitoes 
as evening sets in

  1. It sounds like you are having a lovely retreat from the city, at a lake........I do hope so. Relish the peace of being away from all the clamour.....we need it now more than ever.
