Not sure on this one. It's another river poem which needs some work.
SUMMER ON THE RIVER
Flat river water, balmy, warm,
postcard, wish-you-were-here weather;
and these are the trappings the river
now takes on when the rarer birds
have migrated or gone to more private nesting
and food upriver,
where the daytrip coach does not travel.
Left here are gulls and ducks, as if
to fulfil some promise of wildlife,
who are authentic props perched
on quayside walls an cabin tops
to moored pleasure boats -
all present to fill the backgrounds
to this year's batch of holiday snaps.
