Caren Krutsinger Poet Haiku

Grasshopper Wild

your green twitching legs
making music in the grass
not so silently

pinging out at me
and sticking to my shoulder
reacting too late

dive into the grass
your enormous hiding place
i smile at your stealth

Heidi Sands September 4, 2018 at 9:54 AM Great one! I can picture this :) Caren Krutsinger September 4, 2018 at 10:37 AM I thought it might even turn into a personification poem, later and I could have skinny legs then too.
