Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Serpents, scorpions, owls

Entry for: Serpents, scorpions, owls poetry contest.

Sponsor:  Sara Jama


I think I have met them all
    - the sneaky serpent -
    - the toxic scorpion -
    - the wise owl -

There are some things in nature to be cautious with,
amongst the multitude of things to enjoy
People can reflect these very things
As I walk through life, I observe the reflections
I make choices along the way, as best I can
The owl hoots to remind me, he or she is still there
As well as lessons I have learned - and I will not break -
