Stuck In a Pond

Sharing loneliness
On a boat in a stale pond
We keep throwing rocks
To imitate the great seas
Too cowardly to explore

bull's-eye ripples spread
liquid glass surface shattered -
pond catches boy's stone.

I skip and jaunt so
across the pond tippy-toe
wetted I be soaked

minnows barely swish
pond is quietly simple
cattails stand guard
bullfrog's belligerent voice
a bellow beyond the pond

In the pond, a dragonfly is teaching small fishes surfing
On the bank, my thought is attempting to Knit a net 
To catch them

small fish are jumping for bugs

Paddling over lies 

In search of truth's pond to find

Stopped cold in my tracks.
The sistine chapel reflected in a pond.
In my heart a prayer.

Lilies of the Pond

White water lilies
Singing gospel hymns
Like a church choir while
Listening to a parade of pebbles
Splashing and skipping across the pond

feed my senses curious

drips and drops a harmony
rain on tadpole colony

When it enters Life’s Great Pond,
And those ripples just keep on expanding -
Far, far, far beyond.

self-congratulating intellectuals,
s/he will always have company
amongst those who take themselves
way too seriously.

Let your fears be cleansed and be gone

Clear pristine water
glimmering, shimmering glow
shaded rock jewels , lie,
few walk amongst the cool flow
ripples reflect in moonlight

Premium Member A Pond, a Distance

A pond, a distance
England carries her beyond
I failed my mission
To grasp her arm for my heart
Her beauty compares to none

Old buddy


One Saturday in a fest
I met an old buddy in a vest
Who was mighty grateful to bond
At the side of an old pond
And tell stories of the wild west
