Excellent

G'day Christine. Bugger it! I don't have a six mate, this is brilliant on all kinds of levels. The rhythm and flow are spot on and the rhymes are perfect. Bush poetry in the traditional form at its best cobber. Cheers Fez

I found this to be a most enjoyable, calming and breathtaking read. As I was reading this poem there was a peaceful and calming feeling within my spirit.. The flow of your words made it an enjoyable read. The rhyme and rhythm was excellent. You just don't know how much I needed to read this poem at this particular time. Exceptionally done my friend

-Lovely photo to go with your poem.
-Poem is written very well with good rhyme and meter.
-I like the story you tell and am glad you shared information in your author notes.
-Very nice introduction with stanza one.
-Good thoughts expressed with these lines. I like the image of the "furrowed brow" and releasing tensions when by this lake:
"For just a moment let it rest, upon your furrowed brow
Release the tensions in your life, enjoy the here and now."
-The last line of stanza three is very good and it shows how you really appreciate this lake.
-In the first two lines "it's water" and "It's tranquil" need its.
