The waterlilies, lank <br />Amid a lush green marsh <br />May laze lethargically <br />Amongst the hum of summer <br />But I must dash and cannot watch <br />Their soft seductiveness for long <br />Yet still they draw me <br />Tempting, taunting me <br />To stay awhile and simply sit <br />And steal some soothing seconds <br />From this hectic, septic world.<br /><br />C Richard Miles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/monet-s-waterlilies-2/
