While walking forest, glade, and dell.
With fingernail, I gave a tap
To learn if its tenant was in nap.

And I had my fears
That it might grow into its big feet,
But not into those ears!

Bird on a Wire [Lyric Poem]
On a pleasant mid-Spring day,
A bird landed -- no bounce or sway.
It perched, chirping - as if in play:
I blinked, and it'd flown away.

face each other so that
