for Monday, April 11, 2011

  Today we spent a day out in 83 degrees enjoying the local aquatic life.


At the pond

The swan glided calmly on the water
until it saw the bread.
Then it nibbled grass
and posed shamelessly for our camera.

The gold fishes glowed in murky water
attracted to bits of bread.
They looked like fish in Japanese ink drawings
posed timelessly in curves and twists.

Turtles lay in the sun near the water
ignoring our bread.
They soaked in sun
posed motionlessly like statues.
