Forgotten Lake

Sunset is a quilt of fire
as mosquitoes skitter
in random flight, dashing
onto lake’s mirror of
reflecting light

bat movements upon a
summer night
dance in patterns of
fluttering delight.

The forest is a visiting
silhouette, our tent nearby.

Bullfrogs burp, loons lament
coyotes howl, each
a part of Nature’s menu.

Owls add hooting, deer call
and rabbits scamper
in clusters of movement.

The land is alive with
motion, and campers dream
within this feasting.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
