Best Ponds Poems

POND LIFE
  
White water lily rooted deep
Profusive alba in flora peep;
Over the surface,upside down
Waterboatman-nature's clown.
Spiders spin their bubbled bell
Close to a ramshorn in crimson shell;
Stick insects,two inches long
Feed midst a tumultuous throng;
Mosquitoes,midges and water fleas
Breed ' neath the shade of willow trees;
Rush,sedge in tall...

A Billion Ponds
----------------

I came to the land of a billion ponds
where they said there would be (one day) a million more.
A billion ponds shimmered in sunsets;
lined up purposefully for my delight.

A billion birds or more perished on these ponds
and they made twilight unbearable for me,
these...

One, two
Spirits
Entwined
Side by side
Alone
Yet together
Not identical
Fraternal
Reflections
Images floating
Starry skies
Pond leaves
Debris
Covers
Bright colors
Masking Intentions
Rain falling
Uncovering
Veins of love
Stem to tip
Floating
Stopping
Pond's edge
Embracing...

Moonlit Ponds


the moon's reflection
stirs in the pond as ripples
gather around us
so close we're breathing as one
' till our eyes meet   I can't breathe


looking at the moon
holding each other tightly
the whispering wind
breathes our secret to the trees
and laughs ripples on the pond


my fever rages
as...

I am so very tired
Of death so endured,
Of people winning races
And sickness being cured.

I grow so cold 
Of these repetitive pleas.
Their meaningless exasperations
And every cliche deed.

I'm hating all the rhymes
And metaphors inside
With bitterness for blinds
Who wish only to be deaf.

I'm sinking in these poems
Of love...

Sail with me my darling!
Let’s ride on golden ponds,
Our summer times are ending
Winters far too long
Twilight years are mooring
Memories floating high,
Hand in hand we’ll travel
Through sunsets beyond the sky
Guided through every ripple 
Destiny in our eyes,
Love will always remember,
Years that had drifted by,
Boat rides will...

Along the blood road
there's thousands of ponds
carved out by American bombs.
An attempt to blast communism
into starry oblivion-
It'll take a hundred years to remove 
unexploded ordinances(uox's)
Children mistake them for shiny toys
every day is black Christmas for children
who play along the blood road-

The metal from war doesn't...

Ducks from all over
have come to Lowell
ponds for the diving
championship of the pond.

As I watch so many
of them diving to
see who can stay
under the longest,

it will be a close
game, as they all
seem to be doing
    fine job.

Mere mire and quagmire,
not mere but more,
now it had turned dire,
I was splattered in face,
two particles,
came and plastered on cheeks,
they smelled and were crow black,
I was trying hard to get them off,
somebody in the while,
pushed me hard,
I fell deep and good,
in the mire pond,
that nearby...

orphan tadpoles plead
home returning foreign birds
to come back so soon

Saw a school of
bass this cool morning
to small to catch yet,
but someday they will
land in someone's frying pan.

The pond where they live
is so murky but so far
they seem to be doing fine,
but the insects flying over
the pond, gives them plenty to eat.

A humid day at Lowell ponds,
falling rain last night,
cleaned up nature's home.

Fresh air do I smell,
such clean water that
covers this pond.

A humid day in Colorado
is such a rare event,
more rain is on it's way.

So this pond will stay
clean for ducks, geese,
and fish to enjoy.
