Poem


From my Aunt Honey, who overflows with love. I had to share.

Koi Pond on the Blog

By

Rosemarie Fox McShane


Being just a tad compulsive

I cannot resist feeding the fish

and saying a prayer or two

that Oakes will soon take over this job

so that Isla can visit the zoo

or some other space

on this beautiful earth

that waits to show them the ropes:

how bees purr along louder than cats

when happy among the flowers,

how stars at night hold still to be caught

as astronomers ponder for hours,

how love dances on in precious hearts

like koi circling in random patterns and random colors

waiting to be fed.
