  4. The pool is a symbol for wealth and/or an erotic promise. In your haiku it is just the surface for a big thing: human emotion. Very good, John.

    PS: The verification word at the moment is "stones". Sometimes I think these systems know what we think: why not throwing a pebble into this still pool and watching circles?
