When I first read the title, I thought it was talking about "Belle Isle" in Richmond, Virginia. The imagery in this poem is wonderful. you're *swimming* in it :)

I thought it was talking about the Richmond Belle Isle too which is why I was so excited when I found it. However, it's still a wonderful poem, even if it's not talking about the Belle Isle I know.

Ah, Belle Isle! I grew up in suburban Detroit & remember it fondly. Thanks for this.
