Water Garden Before and After

The Koi troll in clear waters

The more I looked the more unnatural it seemed

So I started over

More moss and some rocks rearranged.

My top rock with a hole feeds into my new holey rock.  

 The water then runs over a volcanic rock

 into a small pool 

where the water runs through that rock's hole into the stream. 

The water runs completely through moss

 that works as a natural filter for the water garden.

None of the inhabitants are complaining.

The frog even seemed pleased with his rusty toolbox full of moss.

Shabby chic meets a water garden.

Trash To Treasure For Poetry Jam

Someone threw 

This tub away

I became it's foster parent

Invited it to stay

First it watered horses

As they walked by

The horses left

The tub stayed high and dry

Sad to see the tub

Sitting all alone

Then came Bonnie

A water lover to the bone

The lilies weren't happy

Being chewed and torn

Because of busy Bonnie

A new idea was born

So this poor discarded tub

With no purpose at all

Became the lily reserve

And a unique water fall
