the condo pool it's canvas
normally so still
today the water is dancing
as the wind has its way
sending ripples northeast
when the whimsy wind takes a new fancy
and the water ripples northwest too
converging to create shimmering domes.
and now the rain drizzles its share
and the canvas bubbles in concentric circles, overlapping
not content the wind lifts the leaves and flowrs off the nearby trees
f lings then in the water too
so now the blue has yellow and orange highlights
and then she puffs up her chest and sends a whoosh from the East
so the water rises and folds in waves
rushing to kiss the shore
I'm walking round and round reveling
as the wind paints on me too
shifting my hair one way, my shirt the next
raindrops stud me with diamonds
as I drink in nature's art
on my condo pool.
a scruffy mynah comes out once
cockspur its head at the sky
as if to check if more rain is on its way
then makes up its mind and flies straight up to shelter a roof
now the surface lifts like a blanket
rippling northeast
