Out of a hole near a pond so small, A baby frog gives a croaky call. But mama frog is nowhere around— A snake lies waiting; dangers abound.

Brackish lichen forms a raft upon the pond, a low haze floats like a moored airship. Small frogs chirrup sotto-voce as if they were dreaming sparrows. Water birds dabble in their sleep. Soon the sun will dash across a drop of dew bursting dams of light. A fisherman in his truck drinks his coffee, rubs his eyes and smacks his lips. He grabs rod and tackle, hopes fat...

A late March thundershower floats toward me Like a plucked flower Handed over on a walk to a lover With a smile Down this afternoon path That breezes past Spring-born ponds Erupting Of Peepers ululating and Chorus Frogs ratcheting In a wave of Gnawa music. The surface Puckers Diacritic raindrops Slowly Softly Each plop and their purple ripple Has not enough splash To generate an echo From the reedy shore. The storm not so...

A STILLED POND Once a wet playground, A ducks' and frogs' Disneyland! Now quiet and stilled:- Winter is no friend to ponds; freezing out their livelihoods:- ...

The town pond was drained, revealing minnows wriggling in the residual water they milled and turned in silvered arabesques choregraphed by a rippling wind. Large ocean-going gulls descended out of a troubled sky, they walked among the writhing small fry plucked out the little fish employing just the tip of their great beaks as if sensible of the delicacy of such morsels. Dark clouds foretold a storm, strange...

The waters of the pond drying Dissolving into misty thin vapours. In a few days, The pond. will become bare. But the distant clouds shifted paths Flew to other directions. In the shallow depths of the pond Fishes dart swiftly Gleaming through the waning stream. But O wandering clouds, Where have you flown?...

A moon-lit day End of Fall The Sun an unseen presence Far down south-west Behind some silver cloud Maples showering gold On a lengthening walkway Lovely as the Milky Way A young couple in embrace On a lonely bench Hush, hush, silent speech Tip-toe vagrant breeze A teenage cutie In Halloween fancy Of rainbow hues Floats her way Did the trees around Send her down With their sliding leaves? Time in lethargy The skies in...
