Tranquil Friends Update !!

Tranquillity of the river
yet the rumble of the boat
enjoying a natures moment
four friends quietly afloat

Carp, Kookaburra's and Kingfisher's
dive and fly along side
as four friends in a speed boat
take in river and countryside

Black Swans waltz alongside
the ruffled rippled waters
Hen talking to cignet
as mother does to daughter !

Nests of Hawk's and Swallow's
perch in twisted willow tree's which,
bow and curtsy to us
in the moment of the breeze

Four friend's enjoying life
for a while, lose stress and strain
clearing their minds, that life intertwined
two husbands with their wives

Two wives, who've become good friends
as their lives travelled similar paths
shared tears sadness and sorrows
then through their friendship relearnt how to laugh

The river in her majestical way
lets us relax and revisit past days
of laughter, freedom and friendship
helps us release our sad dismal ways


Tranquillity of the river
releasing into our souls
four friends in a special moment
as along the river they flow.

UPDATE !!!!!


Although wait ....just a minute
who's that behind the boat ??
Oh my god it's Jinetty,
hanging on to a bloody rope !!

My god, what are you doing ?
in our tranquil tete-a-tete
skiing behind with just a rope
is sure to seal your fate !!

''I was holding on to the rope behind you,
enjoying the scenery and moment,
when suddenly, out of the river
came this bloody diving cormorant.''

As I stretched to give helping hand
the laptop slipped from my lap
I reached to save it from falling,
and saw Jinetty's reply on Bpoetry.

The tranquillity of the river,
as we drifted to ''twilight Zone''
aloud me, with my friend, on the laptop
share a moment with a friend close to home !
