Breathe

Breathe Be still Listen for them, Loonlet's chorusing calls Ruby-throated acrobat's buzz Furry cheeks crunching brown oak seed treasures A bullfrog's calming, constant croak Exhale SPLASH!

An enchanting bucolic treat. Looked up the "Harry Dirty Dog" The strong-willed dog who really doesn't want a bath stands the test of time. I also have a children's book work in progress. May you find luck with your limerick poems!

How exciting, a children's book in progress. Gosh, I will buy the first copy! I hope you will let me know when it comes out. Moonlight, music, & children's books are three of my favorite things. I'm trying to get one published but kind of gave up after a while. Glad you looked up the story. It's a funny one that my own kids loved when they were little. Write on.... Thank you again for your kind visit.

Beautiful lines in your verse - especially "Ruby-throated acrobat's buzz" - such original wording. Congratulations! Best wishes, Brian

You made me smile. As my mother used to say " I'm just tickled pink " with ALL these kind comments below :)

I'm so glad people like this silly poem. Who fell in? Probably the nature lover watching all the busy creatures, I suppose. Tee Hee.

Love what we can hear when we just keep still for more than a few moments... And you've captured it so well, Marikate! Lovely penned. Happy Fourth of July to you! :) gw
