A whimsical isle offshore
Evergreens crowd the center
Struggling to maintain hold
Among the worn rocks
The trees are dwarfed
With inadequacy of food
Time and time again
The ravages of Lake Superior
Overwhelm the tiny island
After each bout of ferocity
The little trees still stand
A testament of strength
To withstand the brutality
Of the unforgiving waters
With a lowering sun
The water is calm
A rare moment it is
The trees stand bold
In the evening solitude
White clouds flirting
Across the blue sky
Reflecting upon the water
The horizon turning pink
From the sun’s glow
The shadows are creeping
Over the reposing land
Darkness has now descended
The isle mere silhouette
Upon the placid waters
The sky is clearing
The stars luminous in the night sky
The moon casts a silver glow
Over the diminutive isle
There is a sense
Of quietude and peace
Along the rugged shoreline
A wonderful photo with a very good poetic description…
Thank you Ompong
I love how each line of your poem sits on its own and builds, describing this unique Isle with admiration and care. Beautiful moment captured as well, the waters so calm!
Walking the shorelines of Lake Superior is a beautiful experience. Thank you Carrie
