Swamp Stroll

Moss-draped boles
uphold a dimming sky
blooming vines
thread the grass,
and a decaying log
shelters the passion
of dragonflys.
Frogs croak,
leaping,
splashing
desperate to escape
the wading cranes and
swimming snakes.
life feeds upon itself
in an orgy of excess.
And in the lost
soggy heart
of the wilderness,
I see a cabin.
Chimney smoke spirals
into the eventide 
and I hear the
metalic plinking
of a rabid banjo,
warring with the
mockingbirds.
I draw my harmonica
from hiding
preparing to enter
the fray.

There are so many imageries and interpretation on this poem. I'd like to read this once at its face value and then perhaps a feel times to digest the abstract.

Good write, Lee!

This gave me a serene visual, made me think of the mountains and the peace that I find there while creating.
