cattails curtsy
north wind whistles through the reeds
bullfrogs dance and sing

catfish play in mud
ignoring my kit kat bait
playful fish survive

bass splash gracefully
ballet disturbs the stillness
ripples stir the pond

flies fly unaware
death is just a splash away
fast food pond style

My first impression was suicide by drowning in the pond. But death comes to many pond creatures as we remove them from the water to eat them.

Love it, Lori!! Jeez, your images brought so many flashbacks to lazy hazy summer days growing up in Wisconsin...except the KitKat part, we never shared those with frogs or fish!

The Pond is wonderful! Especially liked the first Haiku, but they all bring back many wonderful memories of my childhood days - at a delightful tiny Midwestern pond.
