Pond

February Poetry Adventure Day 10

Throwing pinecones on the frozen pond at Ames Nowell State Park, February 2020

throw a stone
          onto the frozen pond—

                    strangely, the ice sings

throwing pinecones on the frozen pond, February 2020

Snapping turtles, Griffith's Pond, Brewster, MA-- June 2022

beware, dangling feet,
     beneath the dock lurks danger: 

          snapper, the pond’s king

snapping turtle, June 2022— ‎⁨Griffiths Pond⁩, ⁨Brewster⁩, ⁨MA

Nature study at Little Long Pond in Plymouth, September 2017

summer days, rolled pants
      nets catch nymphs and baby
          turtles— 
                            pond wading

wading into the stream that feeds into Little Long Pond, September 2017

Little Long Pond, September 2017

baby snapping turtle, caught and released at Little Long Pond, September 2017
