Sitting by the Pond

Sitting by the pond,

On a moonlit night,

With the glow-worms beside,

Trying to make a serene bond.

 

The silvery moon smiles in joy,

Embracing the surface of the water,

Keenly watch I the proud ripples,

And the snake’s playing with the toy.

 

The sudden splash by an anonymous fish,

Makes me yearn for this never to finish.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In the 8th line, "toy" refers to the frog.

What a lovely evening you describe in your poem. The spell broken by a fish splashing, lovely. The second verse is beautiful. Enjoyed reading your poem, engrossing.
