Early Morning

by Animus   Oct 2, 2006


Quietly sitting at the end of a dock.
The lake is as smooth as glass, with nary a ripple.
Fog drifts from the land out across this glassy surface.
Clouds cover the mountains surrounding this peaceful scene.
Then the sun climbs over the trees and I'm nearly blinded by the beautiful colors of the changing seasons.
I hear a splash and see a weasel going for an early swim.
I watch it frolic in the water, then leave to hunt for it's breakfast.
The lake is once more silent.
I breath deeply of the cold, clear, fresh air.
Suddenly, a fish leaps from the water.
I have to smile.
It's a beautiful morning.

    Hey. I really like this. It's got a great range of imagery, and life, and even some feeling. You're smile made it for me actually. lol that's not a pick up line of any sort, as I didn't literally mean your smile ha ha, I just like that it added character to scenery. It was really nice.
    The only thing I want to warn you of, is nothing important really, as we both know spelling and grammar does not change the meaning, but just incase you are a nit picker as I am, I thought I'd let you know. Near the end line of your poem, it says:

    ''I breath deeply''
    when it should be
    "I breathE deeply"

    I used to always get them confused between which one is like 'breath of fresh air.' and which is 'breathe in deeply'... But I've got it down now and notice it wherever I go.
    So anyway, in conclusion...Great write! :)
