The Country River

the river is wide and shallow,

flowing at a gentle pace,

and within the river

 lie large rocks,

which form a  crooked path

a weeping willow

stooped over the water

gently dangles it’s branches

whilst swaying in a breeze  

small fish can be seen swimming  

 as they go in and out from the reeds

 that grow along the   bank

this is a place where

 tranquillity reigns

this is a place to  dream

it is a place to relax
