ANNUAL RETURN OF THE KING




Trees are drooping limbs
In red-orange purple foliage
Mountain streams billowing
Icy streams flowing
Bitter winter winds blowing
Rapid white foaming
Flowers fading, pedals wandering
Skitters skating above pebble rocks
As trout dine in a mating dance
Opus to early springing, Robin's singing
Mothball hail falling on windshield wipers
Rocking to sleep sunning vipers
King Salmon returning to Cottage lake creek
Sun failing, rain stalling, double rainbow Angel
Upstream two Coho Salmon below water tumbling
Road guards to test shallow waters
All must die to complete annual cycle
For at Seattle's Pike Street market
Artful vendors are practicing
The long tested art of throwing fishes
Satisfying a child's wishes
Tourist clapping joy of a practiced feat
Mother's, kids and father's,applauding
Salmon are spawning in local waters
The annual return of the King at Cottage Lake creek
