A CREEK CANOE CRUISE

At first we were rowing and flowing effortlessly with the hasty dance of the water through our creek before the hyacinths started running everywhere like a drunk driver
I heard great and lovely captivating tales of Adegbe lake from Grandma as I decended on 3 big madiga and dried aloma fish

As a kid I saw smooth strokes and paddle's play as fun
as the water's rhythm kept my eyes hooked as we guide and force our way through the water hyacinth colonized creek
Some foliage hugged the canoe edge and some married our paddle

I saw nature's excellence and it's aesthetic esthesiogenic pledge
Sun's warmth, gentle breeze and the lovely Grammy sweet songs of birds
I enjoyed seeing the ripples our canoe created , and the fact that it was my first time entering a canoe kept me lively
Canoe cruise was a moment to seize.
