Pond Songs

The pictures were taken by me, Katherine J. Krein. 

The nights songs of my pond amphibians fill the air 
around my house and garden this time of year.
These songs are a sure sign of summer. 
Their mating calls herald their eager presence.
With their success the pond fills with tiny tadpoles.
Over time their numbers thin and 
they become food for predators 
or learn to hide in order to survive.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
