Yorkshire Waters Lament


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!
