Woodsy Palindrome Paradise

There was not a "peep" among the trees in this autumn woodsy paradise. The leaves were much "redder" than remembered in days long past. An unfamiliar "pop" sound led my eyes downward, where I saw gray squirrel, With his little brown "eye" focused on a walnut that had rolled from her tree. A "hadedah" flew past, a rare bird for this magical place, a mysterious visitor, Grass "dewed" to perfection, there was a crunch as we wandered further into the forest. The "marram" grasses which bordered this paradise, were virginally left alone, unscathed As the sun approached 'noon' we heard a renegade "peep", whose source is yet to be found. The deepest part of the forest was a "wow" for me, I had never seen such beautiful vegetation. My friend discovered a left behind "alula", probably from a blue jay judging from its markings. I suggested we leave it here, "deified" in reverence by the charming protection of the forest. We gave a sad "pip-pip" to the day’s end, as twilight overtook the forest, and we re-entered reality.

Thank you. This was one of my few thinking poems, as it is had palidomes in it and I did not know what they were.
