Shallow Stream Poem by Lee Fones

peering into shallow stream
saw a boatman hit the bank
i've never heard a tiny scream
then the boatman sank

then spotted dragonfly
beautiful blue wings
catching flies as they dry
then releasing poison sting

spotting a tiny frog
sitting quiet on a lily
not sure it was on the bog
as it looked so silly

spotted a naturist
she was in the buff
i blew her a kiss
that was just enough

then saw a diver
he had the bends
said he was a bus driver
and this was his society of friends

then i saw my grandad and gran
they have now long since past
i was only a young man
but reflections always last
