Abc

An aardvark ambling about ate ants
beside bubbling bountiful
cascades churning
down.
Eventually, eating exhausted,
finding ferns
gently grasping
his head, he
just jumped ...
kerplop! killing
little languishing
microbes mating
nearby.
Once, out on
picturesque plains
queerily quiet,
raking roots,
(sometimes standing 
tall to take the
ultimate
view) various
wormy woods were
xamined
yielding ...
zilch.

Wow. Don't think I've read a poem about an aardvark before. You are so creative. Love the ABC style using more than one word. Clever girl! Love, Shar
