At dawn I reach into the sky and stretch out my limbs just so...1
I try to hug the moon good bye and watch it as it goes...2
With cheerful greetings to the sun, I watch it softly glow...3
And with the light that is within, I wave gently to and fro...4
I lightly greet my sisters, and my grandfather oak...5
He is wise beyond belief, and everyone knows so...6
I watch the birds and let them share the use of my arms...7
Then watch them steal the corn from off the farms...8
They bring it back for their young and their young eat...9
Soon they'll leave the nest and try their own two feet...10
The parents know this and are sad but watch them go...11
They've learned the beauty within themselves, they know...12
The forest grows up around me and I love it more each day...13
I watch the little ones run around while they laugh and play...14
I soothe the youngest fawn that has fallen to the ground...15
Tell her tomorrow has another dawn, the circle will go 'round...16
I pass through the day and laugh and play with my friends...17
I see twilight drawing near and know it soon all ends...18
I lay my sisters down to sleep and kiss grandpa good night...19
I know when I wake up with the dawn everything's alright...20

Poetry is a lot like art only we use words to paint the picture
And what a stunning landscape you have created with majestic trees, birds and far off farms all this and rhyme to what more could you ask for
Very nice read

No I haven't, but I do however see how this fits with the contest now that I've re-read the rules, but its still not my definition of a story. Goodluck in the contest though.

poems can be stories too.....ever read the midnight ride of paul revere?

I thought this had a great mystical feel, it gave me a calm serene feel while reading it. I just don't see how its a story, this is a poem that rhymes...

Nice piece! I love the rhyme. And the title is wonderful. It has this beautiful celtic feel to it. I really love that! You did a wonderful job giving it a mystical feel without having any form of fantasy. Lovely job!
