Herring Run At Cape Cod Canal

I could not paint a better picture, Than the one in front of me, Of twists and turns of the canal, Bordered by endless trees. A warm day with a slight breeze, Giving the grass moving shadows of leaves, Multiple species of birds stop by, Some on the ground, some in the sky. Gulls, Terns and Cormorants dive, For crustaceans and fish of various size, While sparrows, robins and occasional chickadees, Grab insects on the fly. Parades of boats, barges and ships, Fascinate and entertain our time, Sitting by the canal is more than a pastime, It's watching life at its prime. Fishermen, bicyclists, joggers and tourists, They enjoy this special place, Taking it all in; they embrace, Nature at its purest!
