At the Koi Pond

The garden pond had lily pads
A’float and, yes, a’flower.
It was a lovely place to sit
And spend a peaceful hour.

Especially, ‘cause underwater
Swam a clutch of koi,
Whose mottled skin and flash of fin
Were eyefuls to enjoy.

When there’s a chance to savor
What a park may well provide,
It’s worth one’s while to follow
And let Nature be the guide.
