Having A Whale Of A Time

___________________________________________________________

            As I sat ...
 
                   in slight immersion
              amongst a pond
                 of varied sprites
                    
                    depth rippling tryst
                  trend simple reeds
                in distance fair

                 partitioned pure
                claimed by three
               spartans affair
                    the mere sight of me

                        sacrificed precious lamb 
                     midst circle of life
                 selective attends
                  their genteel swim

                   o'er cupped fingers
               a ringless hand
                begs of pleasure
                   this glorious realm

             enriched am I
               steeply blessed 
                        the rewards of privilege
                    the shallow benefits

                   their minutia smiles
            in that pond

         ... as I sat.
