RE: A Gift from Nature and a Tiny Poem

in Blockchain Poets11 months ago

Wow, a lynx. What a majestic wild cat. I used to skate on shallow lakes as a kid and I adored watching the ice harden, and form different patterns. Must be cool to hear the sound of this phenomena in deeper lakes though. Btw, the poem sounds like a haiku 😉👍
Enjoy the festive season with your loved ones.

Oh nice! I haven't done much lake skating, but others here do. I don't go on the ice unless it's been there for a month and is covered in snow and thick enough that I'm not worried about falling in. And even then I always feel weird about walking on the ice, knowing there's a sizable lake beneath me. Meanwhile people are ice fishing and driving their quads and snowmobiles over it. 🤣 But I bet skating on a shallow lake would be really neat. And a wonderful feeling.

Yes! The poem felt like a haiku when I was writing it, but didn't quite fit into the format so I didn't force it. Thanks much for your thoughtful comment. Here's to a bright New Year!
