lyrics

Pond Life

while handsome bulrushes finally spear up
as drooping willows listfully weep
and a miniature tree frog chorus bellows
at a throaty red-winged black bird swaying
while big mud turtles freeze-frame
as daring dragonflies whiz by
and feverish minnows cheerfully charge
at long-limbed water spiders skating
while wood ducks snort green algae
as black-eyed snakes weave wide ribbons
and Queen Anne ruffles fine lace
at a common thistle braying
while merry buttercups pucker up
as delicate bluebells dingle dangle
and a great blue heron solemnly stares
at a prickly porcupine playing
while broad leaf burdock broods
as Virginia creeper steals wild grapes
and Canadian geese back paddle
at a coyotes wet shadow fleeting
while a young buck antlers tilt
as several barn swallows swoop
and mysterious brown bats dervish
at mosquitoes buzzing flourish
…this pond lives on

It had it all
As I recall.
