The Lake Of My Heart

The beauty of this place, inhabits every space.

  Full of wind and water

As I roam I find myself calling it home

  I find I truly love her

Brought along with sun is overwhelming fun

 Throughout the summer days

down I dive, and soon I arrive

 At the bottom,  where I watch and learn her ways.

The palest pink dawn, the emerald green lawn

  complement her ever changing blue

No other place on Earth can bring forth

  such joy as the lake can brew.

 

 

This poem mimic’s Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poem “To The Not Impossible Him”.  I choose to mimic the poem by using the same rhyme scheme as she did.  The rhyme scheme is A,B,C,B with this being true for all three stanzas (in both Millay’s and mine).  There is also an A,A internal rhyme in the first and third lines of each stanza.  I also used a similar topic to write my poem.  While Millay wrote her poem about what makes a place the best I wrote about a place close to my heart, Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.
