The full moonlit sky
Mom’s perfume
The smell of fresh vanilla still in the flower on an open field
Red is
the sunset
an apple
a cherry
my Chinese outfit
a lucky color
mermaid’s hair
blood
a feather
a fox
a heart
and all
the other lovely things.
Where have you seen the fox?
In the bushes, hiding.
I saw a fox
As red as blood
Carrying a
Limp rabbit.
Its teeth were sharp
And bared,
Its ears were alert,
And its whiskers twitched.
Its fur felt like scarlet snow
And its tail swung intently.
When I was walking by,
The fox stared at me
With its beady midnight eyes,
And scurried away,
Leaving me
Gazing in its wake.
I am a beaver.
Wood is wood.
I need to find it for the dam.
Did you know I used to be taller than LeBron James?
My prehistoric great (x4) grandfather was 7 ft., 6 in.
Even though my friends only live for 24 years,
I’ve been here for 30.
Every beaver knows that the best wood is birch.
Axes are useless.
Teeth are much better.
I don’t understand humans.
They build tall houses.
Night, oh night, the peace of night.
Not like day, with lots of light.
Night is dark,
But you see the crescent mark.
Which tends to be the moon, both light and dark.
On the trees
Sway pretty leaves,
Flowers bloom
As I look through my room.
Here comes spring,
Nature rings.
A splash in the water, breaking the silence
Before a second one follows.
Carefully I step out,
Directing my feet away from
Elusive little gray
Fish, darting to and fro, and those water bugs,
Gliding gently, before
Hastily rushing off the moment
I stamp my giant black boots. “You
Just scared them away!
As I look around
I can see
The whole world looking back at me
The rain is coming down
On all the petals
The colors all around
Remind me of when I was small
The sun is trying to shine
I feel the raindrops on my shoulders
When I walk
High above
The world above us
Needs your help
There is so much you can do
Just take a little peek
And you can tell
How much you can do to help
Just take a little look around
At the whole world
Looking back at you
In the woods
You can see
The smile of the trees
The leaves are swaying
The wind is blowing
While we walk
There’s a whole world ahead of you
Come on
You can see more when you walk in the woods
