Those silver shimmers on waters prance <br />As dragonflies enact their dance <br />Across the surface in nimble flight <br />For lookers on a pure delight <br /> <br />The water reeds now waft in breeze <br />To irritate the water fleas <br />That swirl about in clouds of grey <br />This riverbank in month of May <br /> <br />The moorhens squawk with young in tow <br />To paddle madly against the flow <br />As it twists and eddy's around the bends <br />To meet up with other feathered friends <br /> <br />To walk the banks a pastime leisure <br />For visitors a time of pleasure <br />The children glean with added interest <br />At what is surely natures best.<br /><br />Graham Jones<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-riverbank/
