The waters ripple
As a drop
Of moisture hits
The pool that
Has been forming
For generations
Inside the caverns.
These ponds have carved
Shapes into the
Limestone and gypsum surfaces
That are decorated
With stalagtities and stagmites
As well as rock creations
Made of popcorn,
Draperies and soda straws
All have developed
Over thousands and thousands of years
And become one of the
Wonders of Nature
Which can be seen
 Inside Carlsbad Caverns.
