Poem About Relaxing Life At The Cottage “Lake Life”
Lake Life
I love my cottage
I love the lake
Far from the city
Where people are fake
I love unwinding
On the long, relaxed drive
I need this escape
To help me survive
I love my neighbours
I love bonfires
Away from road rage
And screeching tires
I love ghost stories
I love making s’mores
Not thinking ‘bout problems,
Working, or chores
___
I love my cottage
I love the lake
Far from the city
Where everyone takes
I love having a cold one
While sitting on my deck
Breathing the fresh air
Is totally worth the trek
I love my lake house
I love peace and calm
I love spending time
With Kids, Dad, and Mom
I love playing board games
I love holding my pet
And watching old movies
On videocassette
___
I love my cottage
I love the lake
Far from the city
Where I leave my heartache
I love going swimming
I love to suntan
I love to play frisbee
On the beach in the sand
I love a picnic
During a long hike
I love getting around
Mostly using my bike
I love camping
And sleeping in a tent
The lake is my bathtub
and forest my apartment
___
I love my cottage
I love the lake
Far from the city
Where I don’t get a break
I love the sunsets
And playing guitars
Hearing crickets and waves
While gazing at stars
I love to go sailing
On lake Winnipeg
My motorboat’s waiting
You won’t have to beg
I love when a fish
Is on the end of my line
I love playing cards
While enjoying some wine
___
I love my cottage
I love the lake
Far from the city
Where my sanity is at stake
I love cuddling up
With some tea and a book
I love fresh pickerel
For my wife to cook
I am the grill-master
I love barbeque
Steaks and drumsticks
With a nice cold brew
I love long morning walks
With a family of deer
My playlist is birdcalls
The wildlife is here
___
I love my cottage
I love the lake
Far from the city
Where I am semi-awake
I love Arnes Market
And cruising Gimli
Shopping and eating
And leaving happy
I love the boardwalk
I love the arcade
Fun times with kiddies
While getting some shade
I love the trees
And nice scenery
I love lake life
It’s the life for me

Thank you. Many people don't like rhyming poems anymore, but I still write them when I feel inspired.

This was so refreshing! I loved your poem and the beautiful pictures. The poem was perfect for sharing the best parts of enjoying your cottage. I felt like I was there.

You are very kind. We only bought our cottage 3 years ago, so we are new to lake and cottage life, but we love it a lot. I want to share why I love the cottage and the whole lake vibe in the poem.

Cute poem! I can understand why so many people love visiting their own cottage. I don’t own a cottage myself, but I love renting one every year to get away from city life!
The video cassettes are a nostalgic add – it’s a shame that most cottages that I rent nowadays don’t come with it! But still – there’s definitely something very cozy about re-watching your favourite movie at the cottage.

We never get tired of watching the same old classic & family favourite movies. Spending time at our cottage near Gimli, Manitoba is like our own slice of paradise for the short time we are there. Lake life is the best life and this poem gives you a taste.

Thank you very much. A poem about life at the lake can only be beautiful.
