Look Closer

Raging rapids rumble down the ragged rocky row
Of the many magnificent mountains that tumble down below,
From up upon the clouds 
The eyes can see so far and wide,
The rapids race down mercifully 
Till they merge in the valleys tide,
From the clouds they drop pennies,
And while they watch them gracefully fall,
They wish that they could quench their thirst 
In the glittering waters below,
But what they do not see in the tempting pool they seek,
Are the many malling monsters that lurk within it's deep.

OOOOOOH! When ever I turn out the light and go to bed, I always leep from a few feet away. I am certian even now after all these years, that a monster is lurking under there. Great wirting, Zoe. Love, Lainie
