SNOW DRAGON
— Poem by Liz Cowburn; Exploring Colour
Softly surging through the water
Near me I would have you stay
Onward going, never slowing
Wondrous how you surf the waves!
Dignified determination
Raging torrents all around
Anxious to pursue your journey
Going, flowing, ocean-bound
One brief glimpse through foamy spray
Nature’s gift, soon borne away

Fabulous, Liz, as I picture the snow working its way to the sea! Well worth your efforts and perhaps exposing some hidden talents!

Your photo was the catalyst that inspired this huge mental effort to go further than haiku. This is really big for me – to do something longer that actually sounds like a poem. Yesterday I re-read it repeatedly because I simply couldn’t believe I’d done it!
