The pond

My friend captured this thought-evoking picture with his camera, and this thought came to mind:

Bright green leaves open up to skies above,
Dull red foliage mirrored by waters below.

Fragile lotus plants dance merrily with love,
Hardy palm trees stand sleepily in a row.

A bright-red flower stands up for a song
With a voice ringing sweet and clear

The dwellers of the pond clap loudly along
To reply the sweet singing with cheer.
