The Lake
The Lake by Alex Kupchak
Walking along the big, blue lake
I kindly see a small white snowflake
The sound of the water, sailing up to the rocks
Canadian Geese flying in flocks
The smell of the cold, fresh clean air
Blowing into my face, oh so bare
Icebergs falling from the cliff
People escaping but imagine if...
Footsteps of exploration trenching through
I look to the lake and it's bavarian blue
I touch the snow, my body shivers
Before we cross the short frozen river
The fun may be over but i won't forget
The memories that come which i shall never regret
Kuppie's sensory experience poem exemplifies Canadian spirit the way it was meant to be represented. The clear descriptions create an atmosphere, which make it feel as if you were still out in the snow, with the “fresh clear air” blowing into your face, “oh so bare”. The distinct rhyme scheme (A, A, B, B) provides a clever and amusing twist to a poem that could easily be interpreted as emotional and intense. The rhyming is clever as well, as a variety of suitable words are appropriately used to describe and distinguish the memorable activities of this day. The feelings of pure joy and excitement are apparent due to the manner in which Kuppie wrote this memorable poem, and I hope to read many more works that are as exciting as this piece. Good job Kuppie, 10/10!
