Summertime -

Stepping through the grass1

Wet, green blades tickle my feet2

Dewdrops on my toes3

Walking up the hill4

to where the old maple stands5

limbs outstretched as arms6

Woodchips replace grass,7

as I climb the garden hill,8

grasp a limb, pull up9

Bark beneath my feet,10

rough like sandpaper, it rubs11

grab another branch12

I am an ape,13

swinging through the Amazon,14

making my way up15

The ground seems distant,16

I straddle a branch and sit,17

gazing down below18

Birds sing all around,19

I have entered their abode,20

I am now one of them 21

Hands and feet rubbed raw,22

I slowly lean back and listen,23

the wind is dancing24

Perched in my oak tree,25

I am above the busy world26

and all its problems27

In a heartfelt prayer,28

my weary head gently bows,29

thankful for summertime30

    Good

    Peotry sure is allowed here, but if you only write poetry, I know of a better site. But if you write stories and poems, here is fine
