Nature’s art

I don’t pretend to know, but I assume 

That with the long dry summer 

The pond is drying up, 

And what water filters in attracts the algae — 

Although perhaps the surface is evenly coated 

But blooming only happens where there’s water? 

What I do know is that Mother Nature 

Is inspiring, and a finer artist 

Than I could ever be, and so I celebrate 

Her amaranthine creativity.
