Reeds and Water

by Treischel



Tall reeds and water flowing that
Create a habitat,
Oft' harbor within dense domain
Ducks, or geese, even crane.

A wonderful wet world, so wild,
To share with every child,
That they may cherish in their day
This natural display.

For birds and beasts must have a home,
Open space to live and roam.
Our generation must preserve
Its parks and vast reserves.

To keep the wild within our reach,
For our children to teach
Their own descendants just how grand,
The beauty of this land.

Where waterfowl live and breed
'Twixt water and the reed
So here this lovely mated pair
May live without a care.

Just some simple thoughts about preserving wildlife habitat. Here I have captured two Malards swiming amongst the reeds, the inspiration for this poem.

This poem is written in quatrains with an 8-6 meter (tetrameter and trimeter), some lines are iambic, but others are not, so it is mixed.

This photograph was taken by the author himself at Lake Elmo Park Reserve, Minnesota on April 24, 2011.
