Pond Poem by Barry Middleton

Pond

Rating: 5.0


At the top of the hill,
where few ever go,
time never changed the pond.
The clear waters swell
from a spring in the dell,
that runs to the valley beyond.

A rope still hangs
at the old swimming hole,
daring anyone with the nerve.
A water snake glides,
by the bank where it hides,
where a casual eye won't observe.

Ages ago,
the small rivulet
was dammed up to block the flow.
The work of a mule,
and a dream as a tool,
foretold what we all should know.

Think big and build strong,
and make a wise choice,
to hold back the waters of time.
Wherever you go,
there is treasure below,
beyond every hill that you climb.
