Notes About The Poem

Just a Moment

JUST A MOMENT
 
          Happy grasshopper
           flapping four translucent wings    
           hopping on grass blooms.
           Wild weeds and feral grasses
           on thorny field welcomed fly.
           
           Tiny grassy buds
           and flowers erected heads.
           Frolic grasshopper
          freely flying touching grass blades.
          It chose top of grass to sit.
          
         Oh! Just a moment!
         A flying bird appeared swift,
         catching grasshopper,
         on strong bite with its sharp beak
         and sat on branch of a tree..
