Listen to poem:
On Pond Haiku
pond haiku ponder
coping with isolation
as an oasis
pond still, mirroring
dark clouds in the sky above
foreboding forecast
ripples radiate
out to the edge of the pond
bounce reverberate
surface waves ripple
images of trees on pond
ghostly wind revealed
the pond an island
in an ocean of dry land
verso about-face
the pond microcosm
trapped in tiny goldfish bowl
lives life as it is
land animals drink
from the pond without caring
what fish do in it
the pond a pockmark
on the complexion of earth
beauty spot when full
pond is frog heaven
prison for fish shrimps and snails
safe haven for birds
