Write in the Park Day 05
(a sonnet)
I see a clump of reeds inside a pond
quietly growing up out of the water
With each other they seem to form a bond
huddled together, holding one another
I see a clump of reeds steadfast and strong
bravely standing, guarding their watery home
They say to all who chance to come along
"You - are not allowed near us to come"
I see a clump of reeds, upwards they grow
stretching, rising, reaching for the sky
From the water they would like to go
to touch the clouds, unceasingly they try
A clump of reeds in water do I spy
standing quietly, ignoring my passing by
"Reeds in the water"
