Pond In Winter Poem by Frank Avon

Pond In Winter

Rating: 3.5


Trees are rooted firmly on its banks;
snow flakes drift softly into the water:

there has always been a pond
wherever we celebrated Christmas:

on Seven Springs Farm
when I was a child;
down the hill from 2000 N. Allen
when our children were children;
near Blues Creek,
when we were once again on our own;
and at Twin Lakes Park,
where, in retirement, we walk our dog.

Always a pond:

the water is still,
trees reflected on it surface,
snow flakes don't raise a ripple,
it's a pantomime of peace

a pond in winter

the reason
for the season

Trees are rooted firmly on its banks and drifting of snowflakes into water creates a magical scene. Seven Springs' gather in a child's mind firmly. The still water reflected in light motivates eyes. This Christmas poem is interestingly and excellently penned with much care. We visualize the Christmas Card through this poem.
