Laura Leiser Poet Rhyme

In the Grass

I was just a little lass
running barefoot in the grass
tiny feet were romping past
birds and bees along the path. 

Peering through the grass I found 
bugs and snails on the ground 
ladybugs were all around 
flit and flying without a sound. 

Then I happened on a pond
dipped my toes into the bog
tadpoles swam under a log
lying low and waterlogged. 

Crickets chirped and lilies laughed 
green frogs leapt along the path
trails of flowers and sassafras 
running barefoot in the grass.
