Wavelets On the Pool

Tiny wavelets on the pool today,  a gentle
breeze and raindrops fall with a rhythmic
pitter patter. The ducks and wildfowl pay
no heed, around the sedge bob and feed. 
The Heron standing as if frozen, his
cunning eye a prey has chosen. And the
elegant Swan glides, the Cormorant
beneath the water slides. And the grey 
clouds float on by on this quiet day at the
pool, the reeds sway and insects hide away,
dry wings are required to survive. The Otter
on its back dines on an unlucky Crayfish,
seems well at ease with his surrounds, and
the Water Vole enters a hole to the squeak 
of hungry mouths. In the centre of the pool
a love dance, two Crested Grebes court, 
ducking, bobbing, all magic to the eye. All
this beauty in the pitter patter, life goes on 
it does not matter. Nature gives in many
ways, and as always this heart enslaves.

Daniel , you have some great lines in this one. I loved the part about the love dance of the crested Grebes and how you discuss Nature going on despite the rain. Very descriptive and enjoyable reading. LUv, Andrea

You find so much great inspiration in nature, Daniel, and it's a joy I share. Thank you for introducing me to the otter, crayfish and all of the other wonderful creatures that bring us happiness by their mere existence. Wonderful poem! Love, Carolyn
