Notes About The Poem

Pond

Playground for the waterfowl,
Other creatures swim there too, like the fish and frog.
Not a place for humans to swim, because it's gross!
Delightful to watch nature's daily dose.

Nice one because you made me laugh. You rolled with poetic imagery and then wrote '.. cause its gross' breaking from prose to REALITY. I was amused and enjoyed your acrostic. CayCay

Nice one, Miranda. I used to wade in one to catch tadpoles!

I hope the one you waded in to catch tadpoles was a nicer one than the one in my backyard.

Beautifully written acrostic... dear Miranda. There are waterbodies for the frogs and fish to swim. But ponds and rivers are polluted and are not fit for man to swim. Very sad.

Yeah the pond in my back yard I'd never want to try to swim in. Thanks!
