the condo pool it's canvas
normally so still
today the water is dancing
as the wind has its way
now the surface lifts like a blanket
rippling northeast
when the whimsy wind takes a new fancy
and the water ripples northwest too
converging to create new designs
and now the rain drizzles its share
and the canvas bubbles in concentric circles, overlapping
oh look the wind picks up send now the water lifts in waves
to kiss the shore
I'm walking around, round and round the pool, reveling as the wind paints on me too
shifting my hair one way
as 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
