On Pond Haiku

Listen to poem:
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

Hello John, a pond is many things to everyone and animals.A pond is water in a small space, relaxing to watch the water. Have a nice evening my friend.
