THE POND
William H Moses 1939 (NH)
THE POND
As the hot, hazy, humid
days of summer turned
to cooler, lazy days
at summer’s end;
They found the waters of
the cold, spring fed pond,
refreshing, even invigorating.
They hopped, skipped, plunged,
shrieking their delight.
They splashed, making waves
and little white caps.
But summer was ending and soon
the woodland creatures would
reclaim the quite secluded pone!
