Excellence Award in the 'Beyond Words 2015' competition
Flowing with beauty, turquoise running stream,
She's as clear as a diamond, but she's not what she seems.
In the winter, it is cold outside,
She's stifled the magic, now placed aside.
No more fish, no more crabs,
No more ducks on her muddy slab.
As months roll by now warm and clear,
All her wildlife start to appear.
For she now knows that her true life,
Is not just there to cause such strife.
Little fish start to swim and play,
Under the sun they frolic all day.
Tiny mud crabs on riverbanks
Duck into her luminous swank.
Flowing with beauty, turquoise running stream,
You're as clear as a diamond, you are all that you seem.
