The Pond in Winter Smooth as glass and dark as night, The pond reflects the morning light. Faintest ripples nudge the edges, Gently swaying reeds and sedges. Winter sky and snow-clad tree Lie in perfect imagery. Something soothing and serene Covers this hibernal scene. From the road, you'd never know That a short tramp through the snow, Leads you to this lovely place Where the pond reveals it's face. Betty Lou Hebert Published in Rhyme Time Magazine 1987 [This message has been edited by Trillium (edited 12-16-2001).] |

Your words glide across the screen...a beautiful view of such a special place. Makes me want to find a pond to skate on! Hugs, ~Krista Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |

This is beautiful. We haven't even had a frost yet. My geraniums and roses are still blooming. I miss winter. Joyce |

Sounds like a nice place to be but hmmmmm, can't help but wonder about the smooth as glass surface and all that snow and it's not frozen? (Sorry, but the naturalist in me can't help but wonder what is keeping it warm.) ? Never mind, I liked it anyway.

Krawdad: Thanks for commenting. The pond lies below a bank and is surrounded by trees and doesn't freeze over until January, when we get much colder weather. Betty Lou Hebert |
