Kelly Deschler Poet Rhyme

The Listening

Like children at play
I hear them babble, 
Ever skipping away
Over rocky rabble

And all ten toes
On my own two feet,
Watching as it goes
Before I retreat

These eyes alone
Caught rainbow trout, 
His home below shone
With the dawn about

Was swiftly running 
Throughout the wood,
And deeply sunning
As best it could

The coldest brook
Born of the snow,
Months it took
For spring to show

Clearest river waters
Were ever glistening, 
I stood, a squatter, 
For the listening.
