Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Canoe Lake

I feel the wintertime give way

To springtime and I feel so nice.

Less and less there be on display

The floating chunks of melting ice,

Around me all the plants do bud.

Increasing warmth of sun does shine.

I feel life stirring in the mud,

According to nature's design.

It won't be long and I will feel

My human guests' enjoyment be.

I am a source of such appeal

To have some fun afloat on me.

My time and place for goodness sake,

That's why I am called Canoe Lake.
