Pond Err

by Ruby Read

I confer with the ferns
To make sense of the cons
The time that we squander
To wander with swans

And watched as the wind
Sang sweet serenade
And danced with the trees
To alter the shade

And light of all this
I still felt so cold
As I pondered the pond
My reflection seemed old

Ruby Read is a New England poet that had never dreamed of being a writer while growing up. Over many years of song writing she slowly discovered her voice and woke up one day to realize she was a poet. Now she embraces poetry and exudes it wherever she goes.
