Yorkshire Waters' Lament

[JayBee]

I love the
sound, that
water makes,
in puddles,
ponds, canals
and lakes,
in streams and
rivers gushing,
rushing, pushing
rocks and stones
and pebbles,
in babbling brooks,
in leafy nooks,
gently wandering,
meandering, mumbling,
bumbling, past bush
and tree rumbling,
over waterfalls
tumbling, almost
stumbling, onward
ever onward,
to the sea. /
Beaches caressing,
fishermen guessing,
strollers impressing,
bathers undressing.
Sometimes dashing,
sometlmes smashing,
ever crashing.
Alone. Bereft,
in rocky cleft.
Surface stabbing,
children gabbing,
crabs a grabbing,
starfish nabbing.
The Ocean,
the place to be.
All waters join
and shout with glee
I'm free; I'm free; I'm free!

Thanks everyone. The original format was printed with indents so it looked like a river but it didn't seem to work when posted here glad you like it though.
