Fish in the Fish Pond

Marbled goby aka soon hock aka ketutu,
featherback aka sai tor hu aka belida,
tilapia, tilapia, tilapia.

They all swim around my fish pond
with two tortoises and some shrimps.
It is such an enjoyment to watch
the fish swimming in the fish pond,
to watch them play.

The pond is now doing well,
there is no need to make any major changes.
Just clean out the filter
every few days.

The fish are happy, the tortoises too.
It is so nice to see the tortoises
sunbathing in the afternoons.
I laugh to see them stretch out in the sun.

Lost in the World

for a few days
i was lost in the world
lost in my thoughts
i became weepy and sad
somewhat depressed
and had to find time alone

oh such despair to be lost in the world
lost in thoughts, lost in emotions
but all the time i was aware
that i was getting lost
like the lost sheep
looking for its shephard

fortunately i found myself again
and have somewhat rebounded
i was lost and then was found

Green green grass of home

I am so into green.
Green is the new black.

What is so cool about green?
Gardening, composting, worms.
Worms dig into our soil,
Aerating the ground
To make it more fertile.

What is so cool about composting?
Waste not the organic waste.
Less waste for waste disposal.
More rich soil for the green garden.

Did you ever hear trees in the jungle
needing chemically produced fertilizers?
No, they just make do with composting.
Dead plants and animals turn into fertile humus
all in a good day's work.
