The Peaceful Pond

The Peaceful Pond

A frog jumped into a pond
Made a ripple across to the other side
The water and frog had a bond
That pushed others’ relationships aside

Fish swam by in a little school
And sunlight filtered through the water
Reflections were shown in the little pond
Then sunlight fades when it becomes later

Moonshine brings other creatures into the night
Crickets and cicadas will buzz about
And fireflies will show their own light
Then shows a scene that ends with a shout
Then a splash and the bubbles triple
And the night ends with the last ripple

Is the water jealous of the new bond between the frog and the delicious looking bugs in the night? LOL Congrats on your honors, Dylan.

Thank you for reading! And yes, so much so the water drowns a person, as you can read in the last three lines. The water was so completely jealous of some measly bugs being eaten, totally ;) Thank you again for reading!

Thank you for reading my poem! I really appreciate you took the time to do so! Thank you! Also, most of my poems have a darker theme to them, and in this one there was a murder, if you interpret it that way. That's why I asked for others' interpretations. In this poem, I meant an argument between two people and then one is pushed into the water and drowns, but I can see how someone might think it is people having fun playing in the water or something else. I would like to hear how you interpreted it. Thank you for reading!
