This is a repost of a poem I wrote a while ago. It kind of sounds like a song... Huckleberry Hollow Down in the hollow where the wildflowers grow, near a busy beaver pond, where the water flows slow, on a branch up high in an old apple tree, sits a proud whippoorwill and a little chickadee. A busy woodpecker in his dogwood tree whistles to his neighbors sitting happy as can be, then he goes back to work in the tree where he sat, Rat a tat! Rat a tat! Tat! Tat! Tat! The buttercups yearn to be kissed by the bees, as the long green grasses dance gaily in the breeze while a love song rises from a muddy frog pit, and echoes through the forest Ribbit! Ribbit! In a sweet clover patch not too far from here, bunny rabbits munch near the white-tailed deer as a mother duck leads her waddling pack, to the clear blue stream with a Quack! Quack! Quack! Later that day when the sun falls low, an orchestra of crickets play a symphony below while a single star shimmers in the velvety night, and the forest is aglow with firefly light. When the woodland creatures settle down to sleep and the nighttime wanderers begin to creep, The possums wake and the red fox too, as the great owl calls, Who? Who? Who are you? Standing on a cliff beneath the silvery moon, a lone gray wolf howls a sad, mournful tune while the bats fly high and the raccoons play in Huckleberry Hollow at the end of the day |
