The cycle of life in a tiny pond

Beside the barn
Up the hill
Next to the tree line
A narrow plateau
The suggestion of a pond
Fed by a cantankerous spring
Shallow brown and gold and then green
Filled with gelatinous speckled floating masses
At first
From eggs to tadpole to pollywog to frog
This pond hosted life
And added to my education
