The Lake
Nobody built this lake
that sits
frowning
0n the plain,
fenced by forest,
virginal until
The 1980s.
We can feel
the cold depth
0f her even from
the log lodge
which tries
to warm the park.
It's the romance
of dread that
draws us from our
homes to bring
the beer
and laugh here
among the echos.
Don Schaeffer still considers himself a social scientist. He studies the human condition using the insights poetry provides.
