Dive Land
April 28, 2013

Scuttle me on to my new get-away, over there in Etowah.

Hidden is my low-key lagoon all lively, etcetera, etcetera.

Piled rock was once its tomb until man and his business loomed

And splattered spring waters fully till what we now share bloomed.

On the outs of old Glencoe was something wonderful, secret,

And as natural as a chance to peek, it unhanded all rights to keep it.

This is nature through a compromise and a beam of progress.

It's an ocean in a park steadily soothing as any in it would acquiesce.

Come on with me and hear your echoes deflect off a tall, rocky limb,

And bathe and soak in the scenic wet where bass and bluegill swim.
