In a Pond of Books

In a narrowly shallow pond afar
Water creatures swim ashore.

Clicking ,tinkling aloud
Hovering flies make ways across.

There,a young man sits afloat
Spreading his leafy books abroad.

Crumbs from a meal to atone
For a quick read alone.

Tales and pleasure abreast
Knowledge and skills amidst.
