Patience With a Purpose
Patience with a Purpose
swans stood motionless
imitating spray painted flamingos
geese in the distance
mimicked a talk show panel
turtles sunbathed “sans sun block”
carp slithered in shallow mud
pickerel, unable to hide their toothy grins,
slyly awaited passersby
old bull frogs “harrumphed”
exchanging their glory days
a stick figure Heron posed
patience… with a purpose
...……..a kayak respectfully floating past
