The Lily Pond Poem by Minnoor srinivasan

The sheet of water, the transparent pond
Looks beautiful, fine, woods beyond!
The pinkish lily smiles shed gladly
Its image on the sheet mirroring the lily!
The blue sky looks into the pond-mirror
The onlooker is treated with visual flavor.
The lily with soft tips of flower
Smiles in wide-open petal lips, wild wonder
Then shower sudden falls
Aquatic pitter patter
The sheet now is wrinkled water
The image of lily is but strange
And onlooker wonders at the aquatic change!
