Blackford Pond
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
The pond expresses clarity. At first
The surface is a mirror catching sky
And clouds. This surface seems to have a thirst
For clouds, their white. The pond becomes an eye
That searches always upwards, but below
Are downward depths for searching. Like a two-
Way looking glass the water lies as glow
On one of its two sides. A sudden crew
Of geese glides down and messes up the calm.
Well, no one guaranteed the beauty’s length.
No rites had been ordained here to embalm
Reverberating moments in God’s strength.
The geese destroyed with ripples what the day
