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 Written on December 9, 2019 Honorable Mention in STRAND SELECT L, any form any theme sponsored by Brian Strand 1st place in ALL YOURS (Feb 10) sponsored by Brian Strand
