IF CORN HAD EARS LIKE OTHER CREATURES
If corn had ears like other creatures
I think there are sounds only it might hear
The pink of dawn breaking on the hills
A spirited breeze teasing dust motes
Hard-working earthworms churning the soil
A spider spinning its intricate web
Syrupy sap running through the trees
Meadow grass lapping up morning dew
Flowers sighing in their sunlight bath
Fluffy clouds shuffling into formations
Yes, if corn had ears like other creatures
What other sounds might it only hear?
