The Dried Round Pond

The round pond a big hole
It was empty without water
The dry heat dried it out
It began to pour rain drops
The wind was very strong
Pouring rain filled the pond
Ducks and the geese came
They swam and drank water
A busy day at the pond

I can identify with this. My pond is down 5 feet this year

Hello Timothy McGuire, you must have had hot humid weather in order for the pond to dry up. 5 feet is a lot dried up water. Have a nice day my friend.
