Summer Dawn

My sleeping children are still flying dreams
                  in their goose-down heads.
The lush of the river singing morning songs
Fish watch their ceilings turn sun-white.
The grey-green pike lances upstream
Kale, like mermaid's hair
                   points the water's drift.
All is morning hush
                   and bird beautiful.

I only,
   I didn't have flu.

    If I could applaud this, I would. It is so beautiful. The last two lines almost make sense 'I only,' needs something on the end. I love the description though.

    I do not see any errors here. I like the abstraction in this piece but only by vernacular. I haven't really read this 'type' in his other pieces, but, I do like the tone of it.

    A great piece he has written here.
