On swans and ships!

Although my wife and I are currently in Scotland, and although we are greatly enjoying our time with both family and friends, I don't have much opportunity to prepare posts for the blog! However, we were walking around Strathclyde Loch when the sight before me prompted me to think of a little verse:

Four swans,

gliding silently over the surface of the loch,

line astern

like ships of Nelson’s fleet.

Then, as happened before, I then came up with a Haiku. You may recall, from a previous post, (if you didn't already know!) that a Haiku is composed of just seventeen syllables, in three groups - five, seven, and five.  In the English language the groups are usually presented as three lines. 

So, here is my Haiku version of the above!

Swans glide silently

on the surface of the loch;

line astern, like ships.

That's all for now, folks! :-)
