small





small
is what i want to be
easily hidden in the
pocket of a poet
a merry wanderer
along for the ride
the thrill of
hearing
magical words
spoken in sing song rhyme
seeing the lovely dale
as we top the softly
rising hill
stopping for a
simple meal
of hard bread
and cheese
an apple
snapped from
the bough of
a pregnant tree
sated with
food and fresh air
napping in the sun
a ballad spun
from the tongue
of my oh-so-clever
companion
who views the world
as his
without
ever feeling
small

Love the poem and the images. That last one looking into the bottle of coins is great.

Nice combination of words and images Julie. I love the photo of the spider.
