Broad Meadow Brook, Worcester, Massachusetts
Dragonflies animate in sparkling flutter.
Looks like the work of a beaver.
The trunks of dead trees are the posts for herons to land on and observe.
Not much water.
Enough for the swan to paddle, plucking out duckweeds.
Other than that,
grasses, leaves and flowers. The colorful hideouts.
Red-winged blackbirds sing their songs...
