Ode

There's water, water, everywhere:
Green, swift, moving liquid,
making its endless journey;

There are trees with leaves,
that look like dangling pendulums,
Their crispy, peach-looking leaves
Stand out among the trees.

There are tall strong trees and white fungus,
There are skittering chipmunks
And tiny, harmless bugs.
There are fields and ponds and forests...

A welcoming scene for you to join.
