Sunlight sleeps
softly, its reflection
ripples gently as swans
with slender necks drift by.
The trees are silent
leaves unmoving, so tranquil.
Drinking in the wonder
ignites,
passion and desire
you thought were long
since lost.
Author notes
Ok this is the first ever free verse I have ever written. So hard when you are used to rhyming everything. Hope it is the sort of thing you are looking for.
Ok this is my 100th poem. I have to say I didn't notice that I had written so many so it isn't an extra special one as such...unless you count the fact that it's the only non~rhyming poem I've ever done....

This is sometimes what I like to read: a short poem, that doesn't over do it, and gives gentle imagery for the reader to bask in.
A lovely poem that you have written here.
