Lily Pond

lemon white lilies
floating in a moonlit pond
yellow frog snapping
iridescent dragonfly
ending blue glittering dance

Lovely. Reminded me of boyhood, seeing the lilies floating on the mill pond near my country home. It's one of the “largest remaining Carolina Bays, a unique and somewhat mysterious geological phenomenon. These elliptical depressions, scattered throughout the Carolinas and all oriented in a northwest-southeast direction, are typified by a cypress/tupelo bog environment. There’s also a rich variety of flora and fauna, & twayblade orchid.” I've written a poem about it. "And the Mighty Wind Blows."
