Willard Creek

Listen to poem:

On Willard Creek, a marsh does lay, upon a soft soliloquy of a dormant day... The moss medusa within her array, spreads a garden green for our display... The water lilies conveniently convey, as the toads watch their passive prey... Where butterflies boast their ballet, as sunshine seduces the swampy bay... Watching rushes, shrubs and sedges grow, at the edge where rivers flow... Tempered turtles hiding in their burrow, as snakes slither in the meadow... Wading birds chirp on their chateau, the insects crawl from their embryo... All is calm amidst the snarling slow, and spiders spread their webby row... The Willow wallows as to weep, and her branches bundle reaching steep... Beautiful butterflies earn their keep, as they slumber within their sweep… The feisty fireflies flock like sheep, as the crickets cradle before they creep... All this theatre before they sleep, marshes, and butterflies for all they reap. ____________________________________________ July.03.2020 butter flies and marshes mellow Sponsored by~ Kai Michael Neumann Placed 7'th...Thank You

Between the medusa moss, the tempered turtles, and the feisty fireflies, I'd say you're building another Ark, Noah! Got any room left for a gurgling gershon?! Smiles, Gershon
