Hi all. Hope you have all been well. I'm shattered and fed up with washing, ironing and changing sheets, but someone has to do it :) I have Airbnb to thank for that, but without them and the income, I couldn't 'upgrade' my flat as I want. So thanks Airbnb. This month's offering is another great piece of art by Theo Michaels and of course MY interpretation of it.....in verse. If you like the art, go to Theo's website here: www.artbytheomichael.com If you like MY verse, please tell me so. :) Lady of the Lake The air and Lake were calm and still All you could hear was the birds high shrill The Flamingos’ stood on their matchstick legs They were feeding on Shrimps within the Lakes dregs. Sit on the bank of the silvery lake The beauty is there for your eyes to take An excellent way for your time to employ It’s a beautiful place for all to enjoy. I lay on my back and look up at the sky Black headed seagulls flying on high The Pink Flamingo’s were down below They were striking a pose, putting on a show. I have set the scene for my story to tell It was an amazing event that I befell. So incredible you will think I dream Once I tell you so it will seem. The Sun was warm upon my face As I rested my mind in another place Then a vision I did see A beautiful woman appeared to me. She was tall and slim and scantily clad My heart beat faster than it ever had Her skin looked smooth and very fair I tried my best not to stare. She slowly moved toward the lake I had to check if I was awake She wasn’t walking as one would She was floating...yes she could! She stopped at the edge and just stared Dropping her shawl so her shoulders were bared She walked right in and with the Flamingos’ she stood She was standing amongst them, she looked so good. The Flamingos’ seemed to have no fear They encircled her front and rear With their long necks they nuzzled her arms They appreciated her womanly charms. Bending and swaying to her gentle touch They obviously loved her very much She stroked and she hugged as they stood still As if hypnotised they did her will. I was aghast at what I could see They wouldn’t do that if it was me Looking at me would have given them a fright They most certainly would have taken flight. But that’s not where my story ends There is more to tell my reader friends Where 3 Flamingos’ had once been Now there were 4 that could be seen!! No sign of the ‘Lady of the Lake’ Had it all been one big fake? I stood and turned to walk away That’s when I heard a Flamingo say.... I AM the Lady of the Lake My Flamingos’ I will not forsake I turned back and looked to see Who it was that had spoken to me. A Flamingo stood tall and proud It lifted its wings without a sound “I’m the Lady of the Lake” it said once more And into the sky it did soar... END Chris Christodoulou 5/2/2018 Well there you have it. Hope you liked it and see you next month for more. Keep happy and healthy. xx
