Grasshoppers On Parade

On this warm autumn day,
relaxing in the sun so fine.

Watching grasshoppers
  going to and fro.

Getting ready for
winter, by having a parade.

My dogs don't seem to
mind, thinking only of
other scents to take in.

Breezes waving by
me, as is grasshoppers
on their yearly parade.

Walking in my yard
taking my steps
so carefully,

as not to step
on these amazing
creatures and

to ruin grasshoppers
parade such
a site to behold.

My grandmother lived in an old farmhouse. We were taught to respect nature. This painted a nice picture. Vince

This is just so refreshing and calm. I love your poems about small insects often who lead a life of no recognition. I remember we were working on grasshoppers this day and this piece just added grades to it:) Beautiful one James. Love, Chitra
