clarity ...
clear ..water ..view
....to the pebbles
and ..green ..pond life....
..fronds..
that sway  ..gentle..
in the current
...mezmerising the eye
hypnotizing ...the soul
..the koi  ..glide
....cruise
like .....teenage boys
........in first cars
lapping.... endlessly..
round..back..round
                                 ..until
the ...food .......hits..
            ...the water's...
surface....
             ....then
they are            ....glutinous
         ....fury...

....the little blue cat
comes ....to watch this show
with ..calculation ...inherit..
in..his eyes
..he wants ... wants...wants.........one ...of those ..big..juicy fish...
but.... they ...are to quick
.... for him....he has tried...

.....the pond settles
the ripples fade...
the fish ..swim ..more sedately
now..
....and the frogs ...skim the surface..
........to gather...... the insects
disturbed ...by the earlier...
maelstrom..

clarity... returns
                     the frogs ...begin
their nightly.... choral
as we.. turn and ...walk
into the house
...led by a ...hungry ...
little grey cat...
part of our nightly ritua
