Poem for April

Poem for April by Pam Moyle


A Pond is Born

Shiny and wet, she's set,

waiting for life to write

on her blank page.

In spring frogs will come

bloated-bellied, bearing words

in jelly speckled letters.

Early day notes scatter;

chatter of birdsong, late spinney rooks

put them to score.

In summer sun, bee will drink;

dragonfly dart and dip

like pen in ink.

We'll help her grow, plant ideas

tall as reeds, round as kingcups,

in her margins.

Years of phrases, pages,

to fill till it seems

that she's forever been.

Here is a poem for April from the group. Painting by Beth Barlow.
