Shadows, large and small
Coast through the viridian pool
Lit from below
In still waters

A miniature pond
On a black lake
Full of night dwellers
In full light

Observed from over head
On the upper deck
Of the boat house
On the intercoastal waterway

Different shaped shadows
Long and skinny
Round and short
The occasional monster

Swims through
Dispersing the others
For a while
We watch

Anticipating the next shadow
And comment on what it is
And whether we can catch it
On a rod and reel
