All Creatures Small
Consider the snail . . .
House on his back, here or there,
Always at home.
Notice the earthworm . . .
Decomposing plant litter
Into garden gold.
Study ladybugs . . .
Keeping aphids at bay takes
Garden Amazons.
Enjoy the pill bug . . .
Crustacean out of water,
Roly poly ball.
Savor the cricket . . .
Virtuoso of the fields
Night music for all.
