LJI Week 3: The Lake at Merli-Sarnoski Park, Early March

[alycewilson]

This is my LJ Idol entry for Week 3. The topic is "Morgenmuffel." I am posting from a bench beside the lake, one foot touching mud, another ice.

I'm loving what you're doing, A, with these hued poems of yours! Really nice, clean work. Tell me. Do you know David Whyte's poetry and/or his True Sound jungian analyses? I think you would resonate if you don't know him. Try "What to Remember When Waking".

[alycewilson]

No, but I will look him up. Many of my favorite poets focus on sparseness these days.

This kind of reminds me of when I visited Lake Tahoe when there was still a lot of snow. It was something I'd never experienced before, seeing snow on a sandy beach.

This is lovely.

You probably know my fondness for geese, but "fingers rubbed over ice" is a pretty apt description of their calls at times.

I love being able to sit outside and write poetry about the world around me. This is a lovely snapshot of your moment.

I've been at many lakes when they awaken from their winter slumber and it's always awe-inspiring. Your poem evokes those days and occasions.
