The Pond so envied the Ocean
Within its spate of raging waves
The Ocean held such dignity
With such theatrical pursuit
The crash of waves bore symphony
And there upon the sea storm's break
One near would sanctify its wroth
For with its tapered claws of white
It swallowed all its prey in froth
And on those days of blazing sun
The Ocean was a welcomed sight
A pair of feet dug in the sand
And through the air tore vibrant kites
Beneath its breast swam silver fish
As dolphins broke through golden tide
The Ocean reigns triumphant yet
Beloved by all those here and nigh
But in the wake of Ocean's might
The Pond remained so calm and still
No ripple broke the evening lull
As ducks picked petals with their bill
Such beauty in reflections shown
To only waters that ran slow
It's surface held in sunlight's grasp
The Pond wore such a thoughtful glow
The Ocean so envied the Pond
